SSC CGL - 27 July 2023 - Shift 1 • English • Q9

Select the most appropriate idiom for the given underlined segment in the sentence.

Riya always considers sincerity, devotion and dedication as the highest priority of a good employee.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. First and foremost.

"First and foremost" means first in order of importance; above all else.

In the context of the sentence, Riya considers sincerity, devotion, and dedication as the most important qualities of a good employee.

These options do not convey the same meaning as "the highest priority" in the sentence.

Therefore, "First and foremost" is the correct idiom to use in this context.
