Back to paper

Select the most appropriate idiom ( in the context) to fill in the sentence.

Suman really has ______. She moved to a new house just a month back but already has a lovely garden.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. green fingers.

  1. Option 1, heart of gold means being very kind and to have a good nature.
  2. Option 2, a bad hair day means a day when one's hair is unattractive and unmanageable. It may also mean having a bad day in general.
  3. Option 3, a foot in the door means to achieve an initial stage or succeed with a first step.
  4. Option 4, green fingers means being good at gardening.

Option 4 is the correct answer because firstly, the sentence given in the question talks about how Suman already has a beautiful garden after having moved to a new apartment. Secondly, 'green fingers' means to be good at gardening. So, option 4 means exactly what the latter half of the sentence says and hence becomes our correct answer.
