Question

Choose the correct meaning of the given idiom/phrase from the given options.
"Chase rainbows"

A.

Try to achieve something that is very difficult, impossible or very desirable.

B.

Catch someone in the act of committing a crime or doing something they shouldn't.

C.

When something develops completely and reached maturity.

D.

To work late into the night, alluding to the time before electric lighting.

Correct option is A

The idiom “chase rainbows” means to pursue unrealistic or impossible dreams (असंभव या अव्यावहारिक लक्ष्यों के पीछे भागना).

  • A rainbow cannot be reached or caught, so chasing rainbows symbolizes trying to achieve something impractical or unattainable (जो हासिल नहीं किया जा सकता).

Example: He keeps chasing rainbows instead of focusing on a realistic career.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • B – Meaning of “catch red-handed”
  • C – Meaning of “come of age / reach maturity”
  • D – Meaning of “burn the midnight oil”

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.
