Question 1 / 100

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

Once bitten, thrice shy.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. twice shy.

The word "thrice" (meaning three times) is incorrect in this context. 

The phrase "Once bitten, twice shy" means that a person becomes more cautious after being hurt or deceived once.
