Answer 1

Answer:

They have looked out again. (Incorrect: It is unclear what this sentence is intended to mean.)

They are bringing the 'green' car out in early March so it will be available then. (Correct)

It came out that Tim was the one who had left all that rubbish at the picnic spot. (Corrected: "Broke out" is not the correct phrase to use in this context. Instead, we use "came out" to mean that something has been revealed.)

The teacher handed out some photocopies about pollution. (Corrected: "fell out" is not the correct phrase to use in this context. Instead, we use "handed out" to mean that something is distributed to people.)

Look out! There's a lorry coming! (Correct)

I couldn't figure out which one was the bottle bank although it was supposed to be very easy to see. (Corrected: "put out" is not the correct phrase to use in this context. Instead, we use "figure out" to mean to come to an understanding or conclusion.)

One of the prisoners has escaped and the police are searching for him. (Corrected: "made out" is not the correct phrase to use in this context. Instead, we use "escaped" to mean that someone has fled from confinement.)

The fire brigade managed to put out the fire after 48 hours. (Correct)
