Disagreement between written and spoken
Disagreement between written and spoken
The passage below comes from SAT Power Vocab as follows :
https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22learning+new+skills%2C+eating+rich+food+going+shopping%22#safe=off&tbm=bks&q=%22The+second-grade+bully+was+full+of+bluster%22
The second-grade bully was full of bluster when the kindergartners were on the playground, but he became quite craven when the third graders came out for their recess.
I'm reading this book and listening to its audiobook at the same time.
There happened a problem when I'm reading and listening the book.
As you see, the book reads 'came out for their recess' but the audio speaks 'came out of their recess'. (I'm 100% sure the announcer says 'of' not 'for'.)
What I want to ask is whether the sentence is OK with 'of' not 'for'.
(I think 'of' is wrong in this context.)
Regards.

I agree with you (and the text) that "for" makes more sense than "of" in that context. It's possible that the speaker made a mistake when recording the audio. After all, "come out of" is such a common collocation!
