Help your mother with the preparation of the meal and clearing ___ after the meal in over.

 

The correct option is:

b) up

The complete sentence would be: "Help your mother with the preparation of the meal and clearing up after the meal is over."

Explanation: "Clearing up" is a phrasal verb that means to clean and put away dishes, utensils, and other items after a meal or an event. In this context, it's used to indicate the post-meal cleanup.

The other options are not correct for this context and here's why:

a) "For" does not fit here, as it doesn't convey the idea of completing the meal-related tasks.

c) "Of" is not suitable in this context, as it doesn't provide the correct phrasal verb for cleaning up after a meal.

d) There is no difference between the option B and D
