Question:

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!

Options:

destroy everything

paint the house

paint the town red

paint our glasses

Correct Answer:

paint the town red

Explanation:

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.
