Grammar: Idioms

Question:

Fill in the blank with suitable Idioms choose the appropriate option.

Careless students often have to _________ during the Exams.

Options:

Cry for the moon

Clip one's wings

Cry over spilt milk

Close share

Correct Answer:

Cry over spilt milk

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Cry over spilt milk

  • Cry over spilt milk: This idiom means to lament or regret something that has already happened and cannot be changed, which fits the context of careless students regretting their lack of preparation during exams.

 Other Options

  1. Cry for the moon: This means to long for something impossible or unattainable, which doesn't fit the context.
  2. Clip one's wings: This means to restrict someone's freedom or power, which is unrelated to the situation of students during exams.
  3. Close share: This is not a standard idiom, so it doesn't apply.
