Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

Take a leap in the dark

Options:

To conquer rapidly

An activity or a risk that you take without knowing anything about the activity.

To take into consideration

No to do in a hurry

Correct Answer:

An activity or a risk that you take without knowing anything about the activity.

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "take a leap in the dark" is an activity or a risk that you take without knowing anything about the activity. It means to do something without knowing what the outcome will be, often because you feel that it is the best option available. For example, you might say "I'm taking a leap in the dark and starting my own business."

The other options are incorrect. "To conquer rapidly" is the meaning of the idiom "take by storm." "To take into consideration" means to think about something carefully before making a decision. "No to do in a hurry" means that something should not be done without careful thought or planning.
