In the following question, out of the given four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of
the Idiom/Phrase.
To sit at someone’s feet
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. To attend upon as someone’s disciple.
The idiom "to sit at someone’s feet" means to be a disciple or student, showing respect and learning from their wisdom.
It originates from the idea of sitting at the feet of a teacher, symbolizing humility and reverence.
The other options, such as "to wash someone's feet," "to be someone's equal," or "to be proud of someone," do not convey this meaning of learning from and following a respected figure.
Therefore, the correct interpretation is "To attend upon as someone’s disciple."
