Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the given idiom "the best of both worlds" is >An advantageous situation from two different things at a time.<

This idiom is used to describe a situation where someone is able to enjoy the benefits of two different things at the same time.

  • The best people on Earth and in heaven does not mean the best of both worlds.
  • Being good in dreams and in reality does not mean the best of both worlds.
