A blessing in disguise

Options:

something good that isn’t recognised at first

someone who comes disguised

a person who blesses others quietly

an event that is unknown

Correct Answer:

something good that isn’t recognised at first

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "a blessing in disguise" is something good that isn’t recognised at first.

The other options are incorrect.

  • "Someone who comes disguised" is not the same as a blessing in disguise. Someone who comes disguised is someone who is hiding their true identity, while a blessing in disguise is something that is good but is not recognized at first.
  • "A person who blesses others quietly" is not the same as a blessing in disguise. A person who blesses others quietly is someone who does good things without being noticed, while a blessing in disguise is something that is good but is not recognized at first.
  • "An event that is unknown" is not the same as a blessing in disguise. An event that is unknown is something that has not happened yet, while a blessing in disguise is something that is good but is not recognized at first.

The idiom "a blessing in disguise" comes from the idea that something that seems bad at first may actually be good in the end. For example, you might say that losing your job was a blessing in disguise if you ended up getting a better job as a result.
