Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom: "All and Sundry"

Options:

A general opinion

Giving benefits to someone

Without making any distinction

None of these

Correct Answer:

Without making any distinction

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "all and sundry" is without making any distinction. This idiom comes from the literal meaning of the phrase, which is to include everyone, without making any exceptions. In the same way, the idiom "all and sundry" can be used to describe the act of treating everyone equally, without favoring one person or group over another.

The other meanings of the idiom "all and sundry" are not as common. The meaning "a general opinion" is more likely to be expressed as simply "a general opinion." The meaning "giving benefits to someone" is not associated with the idiom "all and sundry" at all.
