    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted part of the following sentence.
    My brother always received the lion’s share of every meal that we had.

    A.

    a very small part

    B.

    the pet’s share

    C.

    the last bite

    D.

    the major portion

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution of "the lion’s share" is "the major portion."
    · "The lion’s share" is an idiom that means the largest or most significant portion of something. (सबसे बड़ा हिस्सा, मुख्य भाग)
    · Example: The senior managers took the lion’s share of the company’s profits.
    Meanings of the other given options:
    · A very small part: Opposite of the intended meaning. (बहुत छोटा भाग)
    · The pet’s share: Incorrect and not a known phrase. (पालतू जानवर का हिस्सा, कोई अर्थ नहीं)
    · The last bite: Refers to the final part of food, not the largest portion. (आखिरी कौर, गलत संदर्भ)
    Thus, option (d) "the major portion" is the correct answer.
