Build castles in the air

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. To make imaginary schemes.

  • This idiom refers to the act of creating fanciful plans or dreams that are unlikely to be realised.

  • It implies indulging in impractical fantasies that exist only in one's imagination, without any basis in reality.

  • Therefore, "to make imaginary schemes" accurately represents the meaning of the idiom "build castles in the air."
