Re: get going Hi Yanzjin
As a NES, but not a teacher, (and as it's only one quickie question) b) works for me.
a) The word "got" grates a bit - I would try to avoid "got" if you can in such a context.
c) See: take to task - definition of take to task by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia., meaning "censure severely or angrily"
d) Might just about work, but only in an appropriate additional context.
Hope this helps
