Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:-

Get your walking papers 

Options:

Immigration documents

Receiving a joining letter

Notice of dismissal from a job

To be very angry.

Correct Answer:

Notice of dismissal from a job

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "get your walking papers" is notice of dismissal from a job. The idiom comes from the idea of being given a document that tells you to leave, like a ticket to walk away. In a figurative sense, to say that you "got your walking papers" means that you have been fired from your job.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom. Immigration documents are not typically associated with the idiom "get your walking papers." Receiving a joining letter is not the same as being fired from a job. To be very angry is not typically associated with the idiom "get your walking papers."
