Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. busy as a bee.
Context: The sentence is: “Tamanna is as __________ with all her projects.” Here, the missing part should be an idiom showing she is very active and hardworking.
Meaning of the words/phrases:
-
Busy as a bee = very hardworking and active (correct idiom).
-
Beat around the bush = to avoid the main point (not related to being busy).
-
Busy as a sparrow = not a correct idiom in English.
-
Busy as a tiger = not a standard idiom.
Correct word: The correct phrase is busy as a bee, because it is a common English idiom to describe someone who is always active and hardworking.
Reason: Bees are known for constantly working and collecting nectar, so the idiom busy as a bee perfectly matches the meaning of the sentence.
Final Sentence: “Tamanna is as busy as a bee with all her projects.”
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
