Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
I found my teacher’s points casual and informal in the group discussion.

A.

flesh and blood

B.

free and easy

C.

foot the bill

D.

fair and square

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) free and easy.
· " Free and easy" describes a manner that is relaxed and without strictness, aligning well with the casual and informal tone mentioned in the sentence. This substitution maintains the original meaning while providing a more idiomatic expression.
· Phrase substitution often involves finding a phrase that matches the tone and context of the sentence while maintaining grammatical integrity. "Free and easy" is an idiomatic phrase that effectively replaces "casual and informal" without altering the sentence structure.
· Example: His free and easy way of teaching made complex topics easy to understand.
Meanings of other given options:
· "Flesh and blood" refer to family members or relatives.
· "Foot the bill" means to pay the cost or expenses.
· "Fair and square" means honest and straightforward.
