Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: These chairs are set apart for the physically challenged.
Meaning: “set apart for” means reserved or designated for a special purpose or group.
“set down for” typically means to place something down or to record something in writing; it does not mean ‘reserved for.’
“set up for” means to prepare or arrange for someone, or in slang to trick someone; it does not convey reservation or designation.
“set in for” is not the correct collocation here; it can mean ‘stand in for’ or refer to something beginning, but not ‘reserved for.’
Therefore, “set apart for” is the best choice because it clearly indicates that the chairs are reserved or designated specifically for the physically challenged.
