- Underlined Text: "doesn’t pick out" is not the correct expression for not answering the phone.

- Option 1: No substitution required – This option is incorrect because a substitution is needed.

- Option 2: didn’t pick up – Correct expression. Uses past tense to indicate the phone call was not answered.

- Option 3: isn’t pick out – Incorrect. The phrase "pick out" is not used for answering phones, and present continuous tense is inappropriate here.

- Option 4: wasn’t picked up – Passive voice, implying someone was supposed to pick up the phone rather than the person calling.
