Extreme inflation in the country has led to a hike in the price of day-to-day commodity. It has made it difficult to __________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e.: keep body and soul together.
The phrase “keep body and soul together” means to have just enough money to survive—to cover basic needs like food, shelter, and essentials. This perfectly fits the context of struggling due to extreme inflation affecting day-to-day commodities.
Other options don’t match:
a blessing in disguise – means something bad that leads to good.
costs an arm and a leg – describes something very expensive, but doesn’t convey survival.
break a leg – is a phrase meaning “good luck.”
