Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:-

Good Samaritan 

Options:

Someone visiting Mars

A charitable or helpful person

An honest human being

To be patient

Correct Answer:

A charitable or helpful person

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "Good Samaritan" is a charitable or helpful person. The idiom comes from the parable of the Good Samaritan in the Bible, which tells the story of a man who helps a stranger who has been robbed and beaten. In a figurative sense, to say that someone is a "Good Samaritan" means that they are a person who is willing to help others, even if they do not know them.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom. Someone visiting Mars is not typically associated with the idiom "Good Samaritan." An honest human being is not the same as a charitable or helpful person. To be patient is not typically associated with the idiom "Good Samaritan."
