Question:

Choose the appropriate proverb to complete the sentence:-

Aruna refused to rush into a decision, believing in the saying, _____.

Options:

A leopard never changes its spots

Too many cooks spoil the broth

The early bird catches the worm

Look before you leap

Correct Answer:

Look before you leap

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Look before you leap

The sentence says "Aruna refused to rush into a decision," which suggests she prefers to think carefully before acting"Look before you leap" means to think carefully before taking action, making it the most appropriate proverb.

  • Option 1 – A leopard never changes its spots means people don’t change their true nature – unrelated.

  • Option 2 – Too many cooks spoil the broth means too many people involved can ruin a task – not relevant here.

  • Option 3 – The early bird catches the worm means that the person who takes the earliest opportunity to do something will have an advantage over others. This encourages swift action, which is the opposite of what Aruna is doing.
