To understand the grammar of the sentence,you must break it _____
into parts.
A.down B.up C.off D.out

答案是:A 但我认为是B,原因如下
我根据金山词霸等资料查到:
break down
v.
毁掉, 制服, 压倒, 停顿, 倒塌, 中止, 垮掉, 分解

break up
v.
打碎, 破碎, 分裂, 结束, 衰落, 分解, 变坏, 驱散
eg.Please break up the word into syllables. 请把这单词分成音节。

按道理,看上面这个例句我分析应该选B的,但答案是A,难道答案错了?还是我忽略了什么?还请各位高手们帮小生分析一下哪个对。

break-up (DIVISION)
noun [S]
a gradual division into smaller pieces:
It was feared that the break-up of the oil tanker would result in further pollution.

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)

break (DIVIDE)
verb [I or T; + adverb or preposition] broke, broken
to (cause something to) divide into two or more parts or groups:
These enzymes break down food in the stomach (= cause food to separate into smaller pieces).
I asked her to break her expenses down into food, accommodation, travel and personal costs.

from these we could see the differences, break has many meanings,while it is used as the meaning of "division", we must use down. then comes the answear.
