Question

Select the correct conclusion based on the meaning of the highlighted word.
Statement: He got selected for this dance performance despite having so many problems with the overall idea. No doubt, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Conclusion:
I. The most reliable person in your life harms you.
II. A person with selfish motives always tries to grab everyone’s attention.

A.

Both conclusion I and II are correct

B.

Neither conclusion I nor II is correct

C.

Only conclusion I is correct

D.

Only conclusion II is correct

Correct option is B

The correct answer is option (b).
The highlighted idiom “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” means that those who complain or raise their voices are more likely to receive attention or help.
It does not imply betrayal (conclusion I) or selfishness (conclusion II), but simply that attention is often given to the most noticeable or vocal issue or person, regardless of merit.
Other options are incorrect because:
· (I) suggests betrayal by a trusted person, which is unrelated to the idiom’s meaning.
· (विश्वसनीय व्यक्ति हानि पहुँचाता है — यह कहावत इस बात को नहीं दर्शाती।)
· (II) implies selfish intent, but the idiom merely emphasizes being vocal or persistent, not selfish.
· (यह कहावत स्वार्थ नहीं बल्कि शिकायत करने वाले को प्राथमिकता मिलने की बात करती है।)
