Question
In each of the following questions, three statements
are given with an idiom highlighted in bold. You have to select the answer choice that represents the combination of statements in which the idiom has been correctly used. 1) When it comes to the whereabouts of the missing keys, your guess is as good as mine. Â Â Â Â Â 2.) With his down for the count financially, he had to find a way to make ends meet. 3.) The employees were up in arms about the sudden change in the company's policy.Solution
Solution The idiom 'your guess is as good as mine' is used when a person wants to say that he does not know something. Down for the count- tired. Up in arms- very angry. 1 is correct as it conveys how the speaker tells his friend that he does not know where the keys are. 2 is incorrect as it tells us how, because of a financial crisis, he had to search for a way that would help him earn enough to live. DOWN FOR THE COUNT (temporarily defeated) does not fit here grammatically. Instead, BACK AGAINST THE WALL (stuck in a difficult situation with no escape) should have been used. 3 is correct, as the sentence seeks to convey that the employees were very angry about the sudden change in the company's policy. Thus, C is the right answer.
