Identify the proper synonym for the expression in italics.

Don't worry about me; I'll get by.

A) live

B) stay

C) survive

The proper synonym for the expression in italics is Option C: survive.

Explanation:

Italicized word "Get by" means "to manage with difficulty to live with" or. It also means to survive or cope up. The sentence means that "Do not worry about me, I will be able to cope up or get on".

Use of option A is 'live' will not fit in the meaning of the given sentence. Option B 'stay', means to remain at one place, which also doesn't fit in the sentence. So, option A and B are incorrect to be used as a synonym for 'get by' and the correct answer is Option C.

C : Survive
