Hi Teachers,
Information to consider:
There's an old lady who is telling someone, “My husband was about your size. A little heavier perhaps. All his clothes are upstairs. They’re no good to him. He died two years ago.” She pointed up to the room above them.
“Why don’t you see if any of his clothes fit you? You can bring them back tomorrow.”
Could 'a' be an appropriate explanation to the phrasal verb, 'bring back'?
a. return
b. use
c. wear
I'm asking it because my dictionary of phrasal verbs only says, 'revive' and 'if something brings back an event or memory from your past, it makes you think about it.
But, I think it also has the meaning of 'return'.
Thanks in adavance
You are right.

Hi sir,
Thank you for your reply. If I have asked you about the meaning of the word 'core' was because in my dictionary, 'Collins Cobuild English Dictionary' the only word classes that appear there, are 'noun' and 'verb'. So I really couldn't understand the meaning.
Thank you very much for the link to Macmillan Dictionary. Be sure I'll use it.
Best,
L54
