Back to paper

In the following question, out of the given four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the Idiom /Phrase.

Out of the woods

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Out of danger.

  • "Out of danger" is a suitable option.
  • When someone is "out of the woods", they have passed the most difficult or dangerous part of a situation and are now in a safer or better position.
  • "Out of danger" accurately captures the essence of the idiom "out of the woods" as both phrases indicate that the person or situation is no longer in peril.

  • Compared to other options:

    • "To meet with disaster": Being in danger is not the same as "to meet with disaster".

    • "Not adhering to the rules": It has nothing to do with the idea of safety or out of difficulty.

    • "To lose contact": It does not imply safety or escape from harm.
