Our defence minister has shown his silver will by introducing this scheme.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 'iron will.'
The phrase in the sentence is:
'shown his silver will by introducing this scheme.'
This is incorrect because 'silver will' is not a recognized idiom or phrase in English.
The correct idiom is 'iron will', which means:
Strong determination or unshakable resolve.
So, the corrected sentence would mean the defence minister showed strong determination in implementing the scheme.
Why the other options are incorrect:
Diamond will – Not an idiomatic phrase.
Golden will – Sounds positive but is not a standard idiom.
Stony will – Not an established idiom. May sound harsh or confusing.
