    Question

    Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
    A blessing in disguise

    A.

    To share a secret that wasn’t suppose to be shared

    B.

    Something good that isn’t recognized at first

    C.

    To act in a frenzied manner

    D.

    To politely ask for someone’s full attention

    Correct option is B


    The correct meaning of the given idiom is (b) Something good that isn’t recognized at first.

    Explanation:

    • A blessing in disguise means an event that seems bad or unfortunate initially but later turns out to have a good result. (Hindi meaning: छिपा हुआ वरदान)
    • Example: Losing that job was a blessing in disguise because it pushed him to start his own business.

    Why other options are incorrect:

    • (a) Refers to revealing a secret, which is not the meaning of this idiom.
    • (c) Refers to behaving wildly or frantically, unrelated to hidden benefit.
    • (d) Refers to requesting attention politely, unrelated to this idiom.

    So the correct answer is (b)
