Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

I'm so hungry I could eat lots of food.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. a horse

  • The phrase "I could eat a horse" is a common idiom used to express extreme hunger.
  • It effectively substitutes for "lots of food" in the sentence while emphasizing the degree of hunger.
  • The other options, "like a horse," "sour grapes," and "poison," do not convey the same meaning and would not fit well in the context of expressing hunger.

Hence,the most appropriate answer would be a horse.
