My wheels were brought to a halt when I found out that I had lost my wallet. 2. For one, demonetisation was nothing more than a temporary demand shock that brought the wheels of commerce to a halt . 3. The wheels of the concert were brought to a halt and everything went on smoothly.Solution
The phrase BRING THE WHEELS TO A HALT means to slow something down. 2 uses the phrase correctly to tell us how an economic move was responsible for slowing down commerce. Thus, (b) is the right answer. 1 does not use the phrase correctly as it talks about the shock felt by a person on losing his/her wallet, which is not similar to the meaning of the given phrase. 3 does not use the phrase correctly, as it talks about how everything went on smoothly, which contrasts the meaning of the phrase.
