    Question

    Select the most appropriate meaning of the highlighted idiom.
    Despite multiple obstacles, she continued with her endeavour, demonstrating that she has nerves of steel.

    A.

    Extraordinary beauty

    B.

    An absence of fear or anxiety

    C.

    Relentless determination

    D.

    The capacity to maintain composure when stressed

    Correct option is B


    The correct meaning of the idiom "nerves of steel" is "An absence of fear or anxiety."
    Given Idiom: Nerves of Steel
    Meaning: The ability to stay fearless, calm, and composed in extremely difficult or dangerous situations.
    Hindi Meaning: निडरता और चिंता से मुक्त होकर कठिन परिस्थितियों का सामना करने की क्षमता।
    Example: Firefighters must have nerves of steel to enter burning buildings and save lives.
    Other Related Idioms:
    1. Fearless heart – साहसिक और निडर होना।
    2. Bold as brass – बिना डर के आत्मविश्वास दिखाना।
    Meanings of other given options:
    · (a) Extraordinary beauty – गलत, क्योंकि "nerves of steel" का सुंदरता से कोई संबंध नहीं है।
    · (c) Relentless determination – आंशिक रूप से सही, लेकिन यह केवल दृढ़ संकल्प (determination) को दर्शाता है, जबकि "nerves of steel" का मुख्य अर्थ निडरता और चिंता की अनुपस्थिति है।
    · (d) The capacity to maintain composure when stressed – यह भी आंशिक रूप से सही है, लेकिन "nerves of steel" का मुख्य अर्थ पूर्ण निडरता को दर्शाना है, न कि केवल शांत बने रहना।
