Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:-

 

"To burst the bubble  "

Options:

Thinking clearly and accurately 

Bursting a baloon

To disillusion

None of these

Correct Answer:

To disillusion

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "to burst the bubble" is to disillusion. The idiom comes from the literal meaning of popping a balloon, which deflates it and destroys its illusion of being full and round. In the same way, when someone "bursts the bubble" of another person, they are dispelling their illusions or misconceptions.

The other options are not as accurate. Thinking clearly and accurately is not an idiom, and it does not mean to disillusion someone. Bursting a balloon is not an idiom either, and it does not mean to disillusion someone. None of these is the most appropriate meaning of the idiom "to burst the bubble."
