Select the most appropriate idiom to fill in the blank.
Despite their differences, the two politicians decided to ________ and work together for the greater good.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. bury the hatchet.
The idiom "bury the hatchet" means to resolve conflicts and make peace, which fits the context of two politicians putting aside their differences to work together.
The other idioms do not fit this context:
"Burn the midnight oil" means to work late into the night, which is unrelated to resolving conflicts.
"Bark up the wrong tree" means to pursue a mistaken or misguided course of action, not related to making peace.
"Blow off steam" means to release pent-up emotions, which does not specifically imply resolving differences.
