Question

Fill in the blanks:
Those who live in___________ houses should not throw ___________ at others.

A.

big, abuse

B.

own, challenges

C.

stone, bricks

D.

glass, stones

Correct option is D


The correct option is (d) glass, stones.
The sentence implies that those who live in houses made of glass should not throw stones at others, since it would be hypocritical to damage something they rely on for their own protection (glass houses). The phrase "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" is a metaphor that refers to the idea that one should not criticize or harm others when one is vulnerable to the same criticism or harm.
· Glass houses: A metaphor for something fragile, vulnerable, or easily broken.
· Stones: In this context, it refers to the literal stones that could damage fragile things like glass.
Correct Sentence:
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others.
The other options don't fit as well in the context of the metaphor:
· (a) big, abuse – The combination of "big houses" and "abuse" doesn’t fit the metaphorical meaning of fragility and harm.
· (b) own, challenges – This doesn't form a proper metaphor and doesn't convey the intended meaning.
· (c) stone, bricks – Although "stone" fits, "bricks" is not appropriate in this context because the metaphor typically refers to glass as the fragile material.
