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.
