SSC GD 2024 PYQ — Question 8

SSC GD Const (English) - 27 Feb 2024 - Shift 3 • English • Q8

Choose the idiom/phrase that can substitute the highlighted group of words meaningfully.

Her wedding is occurring soon, and she is so nervous about it.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Just around the corner.

The phrase "just around the corner" means something is approaching or about to happen very soon, which is suitable in this context as it refers to the upcoming wedding.

The other options don't fit: "in hot water" means being in trouble, "through thick and thin" refers to enduring challenges together, and "in the dark" means being unaware.

Therefore, "just around the corner" best substitutes the highlighted phrase.
