Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

At a stone's throw

Options:

Very near

Willingly

Usually

To be strong

Correct Answer:

Very near

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "at a stone's throw" is very near. This idiom comes from the idea that a stone can be thrown a short distance, so something that is "at a stone's throw" is very close by. It is often used to describe something that is within easy reach or that is just a short distance away.

The other options are not as accurate or appropriate. Willingly means to do something with pleasure or without reluctance. Usually means most of the time or on a regular basis. To be strong means to be physically or mentally strong.
