Although Tania and her friend are poles apart, they still love each other.

A.

completely different and opposite

B.

imperfect by all means

C.

completely similar

D.

arrogant and cruel

Correct option is A


The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is (a) completely different and opposite.
Explanation: The idiom "poles apart" means that two people, ideas, or things are completely different or opposite in nature, opinion, or characteristics.
In the sentence, Tania and her friend have contrasting natures but still love each other, showing extreme difference.
Grammatical Rule (Phrase Usage):
Idioms must be substituted by expressions that match their established meaning, not interpreted literally. Here, “poles apart” correctly matches “completely different and opposite.”
Hindi Explanation:
"Poles apart" का अर्थ है दो चीज़ों का पूर्णतः अलग और विपरीत होना। वाक्य में व्यक्तियों की भिन्नता बताई गई है, इसलिए "completely different and opposite" सही उत्तर है।
Meanings of all other options:
· Imperfect by all means: Completely flawed.
Hindi: पूरी तरह से त्रुटिपूर्ण ❌
· Completely similar: Exactly alike in every way.
Hindi: पूरी तरह समान ❌
· Arrogant and cruel: Proud and harsh.
Hindi: घमंडी और निर्दयी ❌
