Question:

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:-

An empty mind is the _________workshop.

Options:

God's

Giant's

Man's

Devil's

Correct Answer:

Devil's

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blanks is devil's.

The proverb "An empty mind is the devil's workshop" means that an idle mind is prone to evil thoughts and actions. The devil is often used as a metaphor for evil, so the devil's workshop is a place where evil thoughts and actions are created.

The other options are not appropriate because they do not convey the same meaning.

  • God is typically associated with good things, so it would not make sense to say that an empty mind is God's workshop.
  • A giant is a large, powerful creature, but it is not typically associated with evil.
  • Man is simply a human being, and it is not clear what the proverb would mean if it said that an empty mind is man's workshop.
