Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:-
" Within a stone's throw"?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "within a stone's throw" is a very short distance.
The idiom comes from the idea of being able to throw a stone to a particular place. It is often used to describe something that is very close or within easy reach.
The other options are incorrect.
- Very briefly does not fit the meaning of the idiom. Within a stone's throw does not mean for a short period of time, it means for a short distance.
- Exaggerated does not fit the meaning of the idiom. Within a stone's throw is not an exaggeration, it is a literal statement.
- Very fast does not fit the meaning of the idiom. Within a stone's throw does not mean very quickly, it means very close.
