    Question


    Choose the option that best describes the meaning of the idioms and phrases highlighted in the given sentence.
    A jack of all trades cannot survive in the world of specialisation.

    A.

    A businessman

    B.

    An expert of many jobs

    C.

    A person who can do many things but is not an expert in any

    D.

    A good communicator

    Correct option is C

    The Correct Answer is:(C)A person who can do many things but is not an expert in any
    Explanation:
    The idiom “a jack of all trades” means:
    · A person who has many skills, but may not specialize in any one of them.
    · It sometimes implies versatility, but can also imply lack of mastery.
    In the sentence, it says:
    · “...cannot survive in the world of specialisation,” => indicating not being an expert is a disadvantage here.
    Let’s examine the options:
    · (a) A businessman – unrelated meaning.
    · (b) An expert of many jobs – incorrect; implies mastery.
    · (c) A person who can do many things but is not an expert in any – accurate.
    · (d) A good communicator – off-topic.
