    Question

    Select the correct conclusion based on the meaning of the highlighted word.
    Statement: I will only share this information if you keep it under your hat.
    Conclusion:
    I. If you will not discuss this information publicly.
    II. If you will not use it for your own benefit.
    III. If you will buy me a hat.

    A.

    Only conclusion I is correct

    B.

    Only conclusion II and III are correct

    C.

    Only conclusion III is correct

    D.

    Only conclusion II is correct

    Correct option is A

    The idiom "keep it under your hat" means to keep something secret or confidential. (Hindi: गुप्त रखना)
    Explanation:
    · Conclusion I correctly conveys the idiom’s meaning — keeping information secret.
    · Conclusion II (not using it for your own benefit) is irrelevant; secrecy doesn't imply ethical or selfish use.
    · Conclusion III (buy me a hat) is a literal misinterpretation and completely wrong.
    Example sentence:
    · I’ll tell you the plan, but keep it under your hat until the meeting.
    �� Related idioms:
    · Spill the beans – to reveal a secret.
    · Let the cat out of the bag – to disclose something confidential.
