Another example: "Please sort through these client files and put them into alphabetical order".
1 sort out: Although "sort out" could make sense here, it is less precise in meaning than "sort through". To "sort out" a problem is to solve it. This phrasal verb is the only possible answer for blank number 3, so we can't use it here, because each term can only be used once in this exercise!

3 sort through: "To sort through" a group of items is to put them in a certain order, or to organize them in some way. Example: "I've sorted through all my old poems, and arranged them according to genre". We can't use this phrasal verb before the word "problem".
3 sort of: "Sort of" is not a verb, so Bob cannot offer to do it! "Sort of" modifies a verb, adjective or adverb, but not a noun such as "problem". Example: "These magazines are sort of sticky... Did you spill something on them?".
