Select the correct idiom that can substitute the italicised group of words in the given sentence.
My business partners thought that I would simply accept their cheating, but they will soon realise that I am more powerful than what they expected.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. they caught a tartar.
The idiom "they caught a Tartar" is fitting because it conveys that the business partners underestimated the person and are now facing someone who is much more formidable and difficult to deal with than they initially thought.
Thus, it correctly substitutes the phrase "I am more powerful than what they expected."
