Question
In the given question, a phrase/ idiom has been given
and there are three ways in which the word has been used, in similar or different forms. You need to see which of the sentences have correctly used the highlighted phrase/ idiom, and mark that as your answer. Bring the wheels to a halt 1. 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.
