Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
All eyes and ears
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. to be attentive.
The idiom “all eyes and ears” means being fully attentive, giving complete focus to both seeing and hearing what is happening. It expresses eager listening and careful observation.
When someone is described as “all eyes and ears,” it means they are alert, engaged, and watching/listening closely.
It does not mean being restless, helpful, or mistaken.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Option 1 (to be restless): There’s no sense of impatience or unease in the idiom.
Option 2 (to be helpful): It describes focus, not assistance or willingness to help.
Option 4 (to be mistaken): This is unrelated—no error or confusion implied.
