4.	1). Teared2). Controlled3). Bottled4). Turned
Answer» Correct Option - 3 Option 1 is incorrect because even though 'tearing up' conveys the meaning of 'feeling GRIEF', this phrase is not a correct fit for the given sentence because of the words 'her emotions' which follow the phrase. The correct way of USING this phrase would be as follows, 'The soldier's mother TEARED up after his untimely demise.' Options 2 and 4 are grammatically incorrect. The phrase 'controlled' is never used along with a preposition like 'up'. Option 3 is correct because the phrase 'bottling up' refers to the action of 'controlling or refraining from expressing one's emotions'. In this context, it means that the soldier's mother did not show too MANY emotions after her son's demise. Hence, 'bottled' is the most suitable WORD for the given blank. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. Correct Sentence - The soldier's mother bottled up her emotions after his untimely demise.
