Dear teachers...
A dictionary defines this phrasal verb as:
See off:
To take leave of (someone):
Another Dictionary defines it as:
See off:
to defeat someone or something, or to deal with them effectively so that they can no longer cause harm:
In this case 'see off' means 'to defeat, beat, win, overcome (challenges)':
England beat/won Ivory Cost 1-0.
We have overcome all try-outs they submitted us to.
Are my interpretations (in red) on the right track?
Many thanks.
