Select the most appropriate idiom that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.

I know you’re blaming me for all that has happened but I wasn’t at fault alone.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. it takes two to tango.

Idiom: It takes two to tango

Meaning: When two people are involved in a bad situation, both are partly responsible.

Example: Don’t just blame her for the fight; it takes two to tango.

The sentence “I know you’re blaming me for all that has happened but I wasn’t at fault alone” implies shared responsibility, which is exactly what the idiom “it takes two to tango” expresses.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
