An idiom/phrase is used in three sentences. You need to
choose the option that correctly identifies the sentences in which the idiom/phrase has been used appropriately. IN THE NICK OF TIME A. The emergency response team reached the chemical facility in the nick of time, preventing what could have escalated into a catastrophic industrial accident. B. The historian completed the archival analysis in the nick of time because the research project had been progressing steadily without any deadline-related pressure. C. Investors managed to withdraw substantial assets in the nick of time before the financial institution announced severe liquidity constraints.Solution
The idiom “in the nick of time” means: → at the last possible moment before something bad happens. In sentence A, the usage is correct. The emergency team arrives just before a catastrophic accident could occur. In sentence B, the usage is incorrect. The sentence mentions steady progress without urgency or imminent danger, which contradicts the idiom’s meaning. In sentence C, the usage is correct. Investors withdraw assets just before the institution faces severe financial trouble. Hence, option (d).
