Remo: I hope you haven't given them your credit card then!

A

B
the

C
drop

D
drown

Solution

An idiomatic expression is a type of informal English where the meaning of the expression is different than the literal meaning of the expression.
Option C: When the word 'drop' is placed in the sentence, the idiom 'shop till you drop' is formed. It's an American idiom that means 'buying things until you get physically tired'. It is relevant to the given statement, hence option C is correct.
The words 'dunk' and 'drown' do not complete the meaning of the phrase 'shop till they...'. Also, these words are not relevant to the statement. ('Dunk' either refers to dunking a cookie in milk or a basketball shot. 'Drown' refers to being submerged in water.) Hence options A and D are incorrect.
'The' is an article and does not provide a complete, relevant meaning (shop till they the) and hence B is also incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the best option to complete the conversation.
After recovering from that long disease, the princess _________.

A
was a pain in the neck

B
was on her last legs

C
had egg on her face

D
had a new lease of life

Solution

The expression, 'had a new lease of life' means, 'a change to something that makes it more useful'. It also means 'gained new energy and enthusiasm or better health'. Given this meaning, this expression is appropriate for the given sentence and can meaningfully complete it. It means, 'After recovering from that long illness, the princess gained new energy and better health'. Hence, option D is correct.

Option 'A' 'was a pain in the neck' The expression means, 'highly unpleasant physical sensation caused by illness or injury'. It is also informally used to refer to an annoying or tedious person or thing. Hence it does not fit in the given sentence.
Option 'B' 'was on her last legs' is used to refer to someone who is in such a bad condition that she will soon be unable to live as she should normally. Hence it is not appropriate for the given sentence.
Option 'C' 'had egg on her face' means 'appear stupid because of something that she has done'. Hence it does not fit in the given sentence.
Given these meanings, the expressions in options A, B, and C do not meaningfully complete the given conversation and hence, these options are incorrect.

A man of _______. (A scholarly person)

A

Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the best option to complete the conversation:
Teacher : Team, I need twenty actors for the school play but there are only six of you. Each of you has to ______.
Team: We're happy to, ma'am.

A
wear many hats

B
put on many shoes

C
owe many caps

D
try on many coats

Solution

An idiomatic expression is a type of informal English where the meaning of the expression is different than the literal meaning of the expression.
Option A: The idiom 'wear many hats' refers to someone who has different roles or tasks to perform. It is relevant to the given statement, where the teacher tells six students that they have to perform the roles of twenty characters. Hence this option is the correct one.
Option B: 'Put on many shoes' is not idiomatic; hence it has a very literal meaning. This literal meaning does not relate to the conversation, which is about roles. Hence B is incorrect.
Similarly, 'owe many caps' and 'try on many coats' are also literal in meaning and do not provide the required meaning to the conversation. Hence they're incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the given conversation.
Vipin: Tina is a rage now. She _____ since she recorded her first album ten years ago.

A
has an ace up her sleeve

B
has made a pig's ear of her career

C
let her career slip through her fingers

D
has come a long way

Solution

Someone who has 'become a rage' is a person who has become very famous and has a cult following. In the given conversation: 'Tina has become very famous with a lot of followers'. The expression, 'She has come a long way' means, 'She has advanced to an improved or more developed state'. When used in the blank, it meaningfully completes the sentence. It means that: Tina has significantly advanced her singing skills now compared to her capabilities ten years back (when she recorded her first album). Hence, option D is correct.

'To have an ace up one's sleeve' means 'to have a plan or piece of information kept secret until it becomes necessary to use it'. This expression is derived from the action of cheating at a game of cards by having a card hidden in one's sleeve.
'To make a pig ear of something' means 'to do something badly, wrongly or awkwardly'.
'To let something slip through one's fingers' means 'to allow something to escape'. It also means: 'To fail to achieve something or make use of an opportunity'.
Given the meanings as above, the expressions in options A, B and C cannot complete the given conversation meaningfully. Hence, options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
______ the two countries are talking peace. But everyone knows that they are just putting up a show.

A
To tell one to face

B
On the face of it

C
To lose face

D
In the face of

Solution

In the given sentence, the following is conveyed: 'As far as one can see, it appears that the two countries are talking peace. However, both the countries are appearing to talk peace only for the sake of putting up a show'.
The idiom, 'on the face of it' means 'without knowing all of the relevant facts'. It also means 'apparently' or 'as far as one can see'. Given this meaning, this idiom meaningfully completes the sentence. Hence, option B is correct.
Option A: 'To tell one to face' is incomplete and not meaningful in itself. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Options C & D: 'To lose face' means 'to be humiliated or come to be less highly respected'. 'In the face of' means 'when confronted with'. Given these meanings, these idioms cannot meaningfully complete the given sentence. Hence, options C and D are incorrect.
