Question:

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given Idiom:-

Aman and Daniel are "Kith and kin".

Options:

Acquaintance

Rivals

Enemy

Blood relatives

Correct Answer:

Blood relatives

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "kith and kin" is blood relatives. The idiom comes from the Old English words "cyth" and "cyn" which mean "family" and "kindred" respectively. In a figurative sense, to say that someone is "kith and kin" means that they are related to you by blood, or that they are close friends or family.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom. Acquaintance is not the same as blood relatives. Rivals are not typically associated with the idiom "kith and kin." Enemy is not typically associated with the idiom "kith and kin."
