Discussion
Maria unnecessarily picked up a quarrel with Rani and left the party hurriedly.
Answer: D
Correct answer: picked
The idiom is to pick a quarrel with someone - to start one deliberately. Pick up is a different phrasal verb altogether, meaning to lift, to collect, or to acquire by chance (he picked up the language in a year), and a quarrel that is deliberately provoked is not acquired by chance.
So the particle up simply has to go: Maria unnecessarily picked a quarrel with Rani.
