    will have to ________ sooner or later." Select the most appropriate idiom from the given options to fill in the blank:
    A face the music Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B take it easy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C jump the gun Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D turn a blind eye Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The idiom "face the music" means to confront the consequences of one's actions. This fits the context of having to deal with the repercussions of neglecting responsibilities. 'Take it easy' means to relax or not be overly concerned, which is contrary to the idea of facing consequences. 'Jump the gun' means to start something prematurely, which does not fit the context of dealing with consequences. 'Turn a blind eye' means to ignore something, which is the opposite of confronting the consequences. Face the music is the most appropriate idiom to complete the sentence.
