Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A) Only
With one voice means unanimously, with everyone agreeing and expressing the same opinion, as if a single voice were speaking. "The proposal was rejected with one voice" means that all the members rejected it together, with no one in favour. The idiom is about complete agreement, not about the loudness or manner of speaking.
Example: The villagers demanded a new school with one voice.
Tip: In this question the options do not follow the order of the statements (Option 1 = (B) Only, Option 2 = (C) Only, Option 3 = (D) Only, Option 4 = (A) Only). NTA often jumbles the options in this way, so after finding the correct statement, read the options carefully and mark the one with the right letter.
