Fill in the blank by choosing the correct idiom from options given below:
Let's go out and _________ as I have got a raise today. Let's go!
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct idiom to fill in the blank is "paint the town red".
The idiom "paint the town red" means to go out and have a lot of fun, especially by celebrating or partying. In this context, the speaker is excited about their raise and suggests that they go out and have a good time to celebrate.
The other options are incorrect because:
-
"Destroy everything" is a literal expression that means to damage or ruin something. It does not make sense in the context of celebrating a raise.
-
"Paint the house" is a literal expression that means to apply paint to a house. It does not make sense in the context of going out and having fun.
-
"Paint our glasses" is a figurative expression that means to be intoxicated. It is not the most appropriate choice for the context of celebrating a raise.
