Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option .
It means to submit or give something to an authority, a teacher, or a person in charge, typically for assessment, inspection, or review.
It is the correct phrasal verb to use when giving something to someone, in this case, giving his homework to the teacher, whereas handed over emphasises the act of giving.
Handed down is not typically used in this context, and handed over implies giving something to someone but doesn't specifically convey the sense of submitting for evaluation as handed in does.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "When Rahul handed in his homework, he forgot to give the teacher the last page".
