Grammar: Idioms

Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:- "Pulled off"

Options:

Accomplishing an unexpectedly difficult task

A novice

To pay a visit to someone.

Ending something abruptly

Correct Answer:

Accomplishing an unexpectedly difficult task

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "pulled off" is accomplishing an unexpectedly difficult task. The idiom comes from the literal meaning of pulling something off, which is to remove it from something else. In the same way, when someone says that they "pulled off" a difficult task, they are saying that they were able to achieve something that was very difficult.

The other options are not as accurate. A novice means a beginner. To pay a visit to someone means to go to someone's house or place of business. Ending something abruptly means to stop something suddenly. None of these meanings are the same as "accomplishing an unexpectedly difficult task."
