The words in capital letters have the emphatic stress. Choose the options to which the given sentences relate.
She did well not to …… to his advances
Explanation
“Give in to” means to yield or surrender to pressure. “She did well not to give in to his advances” means she resisted him.
“Give up” means to quit, “give out” means to distribute or run out, and “give away” means to hand over free. None of these takes “to his advances” with this meaning.
