Question

Select the conclusion(s) that follow(s) based on the correct meaning of the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
Sentence: Always remember that mighty oaks from little acorns grow.
Conclusion:
i. You cannot hope to grow a big plant by sowing tiny seeds.
ii. Some of the big business empires actually started off as small ventures.
iii. Even great men can be brought down by small scandals.

A.

Only Conclusion iii

B.

Only conclusion i and iii

C.

Only conclusion ii

D.

Only conclusion i

Correct option is C

The correct answer is option (c) – Only Conclusion ii.
Meaning of phrase:
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow means great things often have small beginnings. (बड़ी चीज़ें छोटी शुरुआत से बनती हैं)
Example:
· The company started in a garage, but now it's a billion-dollar firm. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.
Analysis of Conclusions:
· i is literal and misses the metaphorical intent.
· ii correctly reflects the metaphor – success growing from humble beginnings.
