hi Alan and Torsten again!!

I have a question regarding this test:

Test No. incompl/inter-8 "Going on foot", question 5

Don't be put ......... by his manner, he is really kind hearted.

(a) through
(b) up
(c) off
(d) in

Test No. incompl/inter-8 "Going on foot", answer 5

Don't be put off by his manner, he is really kind hearted.

Correct answer: (c) off

"Don't be put off by his manner, he is really kind hearted ". Does underlined words mean to dislike someone because of his behaviour?
thanks guys, you are great!!!!!

Hi Iza,

Yes, when you are put off by sombody you dislike this person.
However, put off is a phrasal verb that can have many different meanings depending on the context you use it in.
