Question
Directions : An idiom/phrase is given in bold.
Following this idiom/phrase are given three sentences, which use the given idiom/phrase. The idiom/phrase may or may not be used correctly in one or more sentences. Identify the sentence(s) that use(s) the idioms/phrases incorrectly either in grammar or context and mark the answer accordingly. Call it a day I. An extensive tour followed, but on May 26, 2004, the band decided to call it a day  and quit. II. Sellers continue to call it a day in a market that is outperforming historical standards. III. Faced with mounting debts, the decision to call it a day was inevitable.Solution
Call it a day:  To declare the end of a task; to stop working on something. Sentences I and III are correctly conveying the meaning of the given idiom. However, the idiom is not suitable in sentence II as it is contextually incorrect. The sentence implies that sellers were in a position of authority to tell what to do. So, ‘call the shots’ would be the correct idiom here. Hence, option C is the correct choice.
