Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:-

 

"A Bull in china shop "

Options:

Visiting a foreign country

Felling differently in a familiar place

A person causing damage usually

Doing something at the very last moment

Correct Answer:

A person causing damage usually

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "a bull in a china shop" is a person causing damage usually. The idiom comes from the idea of a bull being a large and clumsy animal that could easily destroy a china shop. In a figurative sense, to say that someone is "like a bull in a china shop" means that they are clumsy or careless and are likely to cause damage.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom. Visiting a foreign country is not the same as causing damage. Feeling differently in a familiar place is not typically associated with the idiom "a bull in a china shop." Doing something at the very last moment is not typically associated with the idiom "a bull in a china shop."
