    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to complete the idiom in the given sentence.
    I have been ________ over the two options in my head and I think we should go with the first one.

    A.

    seeing

    B.

    mulling

    C.

    looking

    D.

    obsessing

    Correct option is B


    The correct option to complete the idiom is (b) mulling.
    The idiom "mulling over" means to think about something carefully and for a long time. This fits perfectly in the context of the sentence, where the speaker is contemplating two options.
    Example: She spent the evening mulling over her decision to move abroad, considering all the pros and cons.
    · Meanings of other options:
    · Seeing: In the context of vision or understanding something clearly, not relevant to thinking or contemplating.
    · Looking: Typically involves visually inspecting or searching, not suitable for describing thoughtful consideration.
    · Obsessing: Implies a compulsive or fixated attention, which is more intense and less neutral than "mulling over."
