Question 1 / 80

In the following question, out of the given four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the Idiom Phrase.
On the ball

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Alert and aware about something.

The idiom "on the ball" originates from sports, where being "on the ball" implies being attentive and in control of the situation.

Over time, it has come to mean being alert, aware, and quick to respond to situations.

It conveys readiness and mental sharpness, which aligns with the meaning "alert and aware about something."

It does not relate to excitement, a journey, or opposition, which is why the other options don't fit.
