Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. red letter.
- The idiom "red letter day" is the most appropriate substitution because it specifically refers to a significant or memorable day, which aligns with describing 26 January 1950 as an important day for the countrymen.
- This idiom accurately conveys the sense of the day being noteworthy or special. The other idioms—"green thumb" (skill in gardening), "out of the blue" (something unexpected), and "black and white" (clarity or written form)—do not fit the context of emphasizing the significance of a particular day.
