Out of business #1 (permalink) Mon Dec 12, 2005 6:04 am   Out of business		  
hi,

Test No. incompl/inter-52 "Business Expressions (1)", question 10

Although they had high hopes that they would be successful, they ......... out of business within six months.

(a) turned
(b) came
(c) went
(d) fell

Can we use the phrase 'fell out of business'?? If not why??
