Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the Idiom/Phrase.
I have clean hands, so I shouldn't be afraid

Options:

Cautious

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The idiom "clean hands" means innocent. It is used to describe someone who has not done anything wrong or who is not guilty of a crime. The person in the sentence is saying that they have clean hands, so they should not be afraid of being punished or accused of something they did not do.

The other options are incorrect. (2) Cautious means someone who is careful and avoids taking risks. (3) Hygienic means someone who is clean and takes care of their personal hygiene. (4) Beautiful means someone who is attractive or pleasing to the eye.
