I'd like to put _______ the meeting until next Wednesday.

• A. Postpone
• B. Cancel
• C. Hold
• D. Off

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is using the right phrasal verb with put to express delaying something. The natural way to delay a meeting in this sentence is to use the phrasal verb put off, so the blank should be filled with off to form “put off the meeting.” That makes the sentence mean you want to delay the meeting until next Wednesday.

Other options don’t fit this structure. Put postpon e doesn’t align with the given pattern; if you used postpone, you’d rewrite the sentence as “I'd like to postpone the meeting until next Wednesday.” Put hold isn’t correct in this context—common forms are “put on hold” or “hold off,” not “put hold.” Cancel would imply ending the meeting entirely, not just delaying it.
