Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
Not one’s cup of tea
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "not one's cup of tea" is not according to one's interest.
The other options are incorrect.
- "Not absolutely true" is not the same as not one's cup of tea. Something that is not absolutely true may still be of interest to someone.
- "Beyond one's comprehension" is not the same as not one's cup of tea. Something that is beyond one's comprehension may still be of interest to someone.
- "Of no concern for someone" is not the same as not one's cup of tea. Something that is of no concern for someone may still be of interest to someone else.
The idiom "not one's cup of tea" is used to describe something that someone does not like or is not interested in. For example, you might say "Opera is not my cup of tea" if you do not like opera.
