This is the correct response.
Can you glance at the fuel gauge and tell me how much gas we have left?

(A) mentions tire pressure, which is not the urgent concern right now.
(C) asks about the fuel level again, but the speaker already knows it is almost empty.

"Eat up" is a phrasal verb that means to consume something completely or in large amounts. It can refer to food, as in "Eat up your dinner", meaning to finish eating everything on your plate. It can also be used metaphorically to describe using a lot of something. For example, "This old truck eats up gas" means the truck consumes fuel quickly or inefficiently. Similarly, you can say "That app eats up battery life" to mean the app drains the battery fast.

Arpabet: [iy1-t-ah1-p] IPA: /iːt ʌp/ -
[iy] /i/play_circle_filledTo pronounce the i sound the tongue is forward, with the body of the tongue near the tooth ridge. The tongue is higher in the mouth for this sound compared to all other vowels in English. Because the tongue is so high, the jaw is relatively closed during the i sound. The sides of the tongue touch the top, side teeth during the sound.
-
[t] /t/play_circle_filledTo create the t, air is briefly prevented from leaving the vocal tract when the tip of the tongue presses against the tooth ridge while the sides of the tongue press against the upper side teeth. The sound is aspirated when the air is released. The aspiration for a t is greater than the aspiration for a /d/, especially when it is the first sound of a word or the first sound of a stressed syllable.
-
[ah1] /ʌ/play_circle_filledTo create the 'other ah' sound ʌ the body of the tongue is relaxed and set low in the mouth. The sides of the tongue lightly touch the bottom teeth during the formation of the sound. The jaw is kept in a neutral position, and the lips are relaxed.
-
[p] /p/play_circle_filledTo create the p, air is briefly prevented from leaving the vocal tract by closing the lips. The sound is aspirated when the air is released.

"Fill up" has a few common meanings, all depending on the context. First, it can mean to put something into a container until it's full, like, "I need to fill up my water bottle." Second, it can describe eating or drinking until you're full, as in, "That pasta really filled me up." And third, it can be used when a place becomes full of people, like, "The restaurant started to fill up around 7 p.m." It’s a flexible, everyday phrase that just means something—whether it’s a tank, a stomach, or a room—is getting full.

Arpabet: [f-ih1-l-ah1-p] IPA: /fɪl ʌp/ -
[f] /f/play_circle_filledTo create the 'f sound' f, the jaw is held nearly closed. The upper backside of the bottom lip is pressed very lightly into the bottom of the top teeth. Air is pushed out the mouth between the top teeth and the upper backside of the bottom lip. This sound is to be a continuous consonant, meaning that it should be capable of being produced for a few seconds with even and smooth pronunciation for the entire duration. The lips are kept mostly relaxed during the production of the f. A common error English language learners make is overproducing this sound by curling the bottom lip under the top teeth. This creates problems when linking other sounds to and from the f.
-
[ih] /ɪ/play_circle_filledTo pronounce the ɪ sound the lips are relaxed and the central/front area of the tongue is in the central/high area of the mouth for this sound. The overall neutrality and relaxed tongue and lip position is why it is one of the pronunciations used in an unstressed vowel position.
-
[l] /l/play_circle_filledTo create the l, the tip of the tongue is placed against the middle of the tooth ridge. The sound is created when air travels alongside the tip of the tongue, between the front of the tongue and the side teeth.
-
[ah1] /ʌ/play_circle_filledTo create the 'other ah' sound ʌ the body of the tongue is relaxed and set low in the mouth. The sides of the tongue lightly touch the bottom teeth during the formation of the sound. The jaw is kept in a neutral position, and the lips are relaxed.
-
[p] /p/play_circle_filledTo create the p, air is briefly prevented from leaving the vocal tract by closing the lips. The sound is aspirated when the air is released.

Ebbinghaus and the forgetting curveForgetting is often explained with the "forgetting curve" (also called the Ebbinghaus curve), named for German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, who studied it in the 1880s. The curve describes how memory of what we learned fades over time.
Research on the forgetting curve suggests we may forget roughly 65% of new material within a day of learning, and up to about 75% after a week. That is why language study can feel like constant forgetting and slow progress. Without the right method, effort can be erased quickly.
How to learn faster and remember more
To help you escape the learn-and-forget trap, we built MyLingo Tutor—a smart, efficient system made to speed up language learning and boost retention. It builds a dedicated learning curve for each word you study and schedules reviews at the best times so you review the right material at the right moment, reduce forgetting, and learn more easily.
The chart below shows how MyLingo Tutor tracks your learning curve, schedules reviews at the right times, and strengthens long-term memory.
