Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
My cousin works day and night to achieve success in life.

A.

vale of tears

B.

around the clock

C.

great dealing

D.

a handful

Correct option is B

The correct substitution of the highlighted segment is (b) around the clock.
Explanation: The idiom around the clock means continuously, without stopping, or 24/7. (Hindi: दिन-रात, बिना रुके) It perfectly fits the context of the sentence.
Example: The emergency services work around the clock to assist those in need.
Meanings of other options:
· Vale of tears: A life full of struggles and sadness (Hindi: दुखों का संसार).
· Great dealing: Not a proper idiomatic expression.
· A handful: Something difficult to manage (Hindi: मुश्किल काम या व्यक्ति).
