Replace the underlined common phrases with the right option.

Prices are slowly coming down indeed due to good control by local government.

  • A.winning
  • B.rising
  • C.falling
  • D.None of these

Answer: C

Coming down means falling.

When prices are coming down, they are decreasing: Prices are slowly falling. The reason given, good control by the local government, fits a drop in prices.

Rising is the opposite, and winning makes no sense with prices. Since falling fits, "None of these" is wrong.

Other phrasal verbs with the same sense are go down and come down; the opposite is go up. Coming down is about the level of prices, not a contest, which is why winning is meaningless here.
