I won't be a_____ until after lunch.

I won't be a_____ until after lunch.

• A. Around
• B. Free
• C. Available
• D. Ready

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is choosing the natural way to express when you’ll be present or reachable. Be around is the best fit because it conveys your physical presence or accessibility in a casual sense: “I won’t be around until after lunch” means you’ll be away from your current spot and won’t be reachable until after lunch, then you’ll be back. Other options have different shades of meaning. Saying you won’t be free focuses on not being busy or available for tasks, which changes the emphasis from location to schedule. Available is more formal and about being reachable for a specific purpose. Ready means prepared, which doesn’t match the idea of your presence or absence. So around captures the intended sense most naturally.
