The car driver was arrested for rash driving and his licence was ______by the police.

A
impounded

B
prescribed

C
suspended

D
penalised

Solution

If something (here, the driver's license) is impounded by the police, customs officers or other officials, they officially take possession of it because a law or rule has been broken (here, "rash driving"). Impounded thus means seized in a specific context. Hence option A is correct.
Option B - prescribed means to specify a required procedure.
Option C - suspended means to stop or interrupt.
Option D - penalized means to punish and a license can't be punished, a person is punished.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate idiom.

As Gopi struggled to complete the project, he realized that he had _____.

A
Burnt and dreaded the fire

B
Cried over spilt milk

C
His nose in the air

D
Bitten off more than he could chew

Solution

Gopi here is struggling to complete a project which he undertook. Option A is incorrect because the idiom means 'anyone who has had a bad experience will be scared and stay away from things connected to that experience'. As you can see, this idiom is not relevant to the sentence, because Gopi was not staying away from the project. Hence option A is incorrect. 'To cry over spilt milk' means 'to regret something that cannot be changed'. This idiom isn't relevant to Gopi's struggles, he is struggling to complete a project and not repenting it. Hence option B is incorrect. 'Nose in the air' refers to someone who considers himself above others and refuses to speak to them'. This idiom isn't relevant to the statement hence option C is incorrect. To bite off more than you can chew means to try doing something that is too difficult for you. You know you can do only this much, but you take up more than what you're able to do. Gopi realized that he had chosen something too difficult for him because he was struggling to complete the project hence this idiom is appropriate and option D is correct.

Option A - 'Unbeatable' means someone who is unable to be defeated. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Delicate' means fragile or needing careful treatment. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Strong' means powerful. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Permanent' means lasting indefinitely. Thus option B is the correct answer.
