Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
The phrasal verb \[ \text{call off} \] means to cancel or stop something that was planned or happening.

Step 1: Understand the sentence. The sentence says: \[ \text{The factory workers have not yet _ _ _ _ their strike.} \] A strike can be stopped or cancelled.

Step 2: Choose the correct phrasal verb. \[ \text{called off} \] means cancelled. So the sentence becomes: \[ \text{The factory workers have not yet called off their strike.} \] This means the strike has not yet been cancelled.

Step 3: Check other options. \[ \text{called for} \] means demanded or required. \[ \text{called at} \] means visited a place. \[ \text{called in} \] means summoned or asked to come.

Step 4: Final answer. \[ \boxed{\text{called off}} \]
