Question
In the given question, three statements are given with
an idiom highlighted. You have to select the answer choice that states the combination of statements in which the idiom or phrase has been correctly used. i. This 15-year-old car is living on borrowed time. ii. The government says that the economy is robust, but if you look at employment data and read between the lines , you realize that the situation isn't that rosy. iii. It's hard to kick the bucket when you are already down by 3 goals.Solution
To 'live on borrowed time' means to continue to exist longer than expected; to 'read between the lines' means 'to try to understand someone's real feelings or intentions from what they say or write'. Sentences (i) and (ii) make sense. To 'kick the bucket' means to die; this idiom renders the sentence meaningless. Hence, c) is the correct answer.
