Uitleg
- "Pastime" refers to a form of entertainment or activity that one enjoys in their free time.
- "Through" in this context means completing or finishing a task.
So, the sentence implies that the speaker plans to engage in their favourite activity or pastime once they have finished or gotten through with the challenging assignment. The appropriate pairing is "pastime" with "through," making option D the correct choice.
