Question:

From the given options, choose the one that rightly explains the given expression-

‘Take one for a ride’

Options:

To force someone for a ride

To take someone for a desire

To try to trick someone

To offer a lift to someone

Correct Answer:

To try to trick someone

Explanation:

The idiom "take one for a ride" most clearly explains to try to trick someone. The idiom comes from the literal meaning of taking someone for a ride in a car, which can be used as a way to deceive them. In the same way, when someone is said to be "taken for a ride," they have been tricked or deceived in some way.

The other options are not as accurate. To force someone for a ride means that someone is being forced to take a ride against their will. To take someone for a desire means that someone is being taken advantage of for their desires. To offer a lift to someone means that someone is being offered a ride in a car.
