SSC GD Const (English) - 26 Feb 2024 - Shift 1 • English • Q15

Choose the idiom/phrase that can substitute the highlighted group of words meaningfully.
The look in his eyes shocks and scares me a lot.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Makes one's blood run cold.

The idiom "Makes one's blood run cold" is the best substitute because it means to cause fear or horror, which fits the context of the sentence.

The other options don't match the meaning: "In seventh heaven" refers to happiness, "Sixth sense" is about intuition, and "Sugar rush" refers to a burst of energy from sugar, none of which convey the shock or fear described in the sentence.
