Meaning: The idiom rock the boat means to do or say something that upsets people by changing an accepted situation.

Option C — "You shouldn't sit there and say everything's fine." — implies that someone should speak up or challenge the status quo rather than remain silent; that act of speaking up would rock the boat.

Options A, B and D are unrelated to this idiom (A describes a rocket stage, B describes troop processing, D is a descriptive sentence about crowding); therefore option C is the best example.

'Be a dime a dozen' means 'very common; of little value because abundant'.

Option A says 'Romantic novels like these do not have much value' — this implies such novels are common and therefore not valuable; it directly matches the idiom.

Option B describes plants that were once abundant but are now harmed (not currently abundant).

Options C and D describe uncommon or unusual situations, so they do not fit the meaning.

Correct answer: A

The proverb "A cat may look at a king" means a person of lower rank is not entirely forbidden from doing something harmless in the presence of someone superior; it emphasises a small but legitimate freedom for the inferior.

Option B shows a subordinate (Ramesh) refusing the boss's claim that staring is forbidden; this directly illustrates the subordinate asserting a simple right in front of a superior.

Therefore B is the best example.

• Option A is archaic and only suggests kings don't punish cats; it is less clear as an example of a subordinate asserting a right.
• Options C and D are unrelated to the proverb's meaning.

The idiom in the nick of time means ‘just at the critical moment’, typically just before it would have been too late.

The sentence describing stopping the car to avoid hitting a child is an action that occurred just in time, so it matches the idiom.

The other options do not describe a narrowly avoided problem or action at a critical moment: one defines a musical concept, one is an unrelated statement about notebooks, and one describes a religious practice.

Therefore, the sentence about stopping the car just in time is the best example of the idiom.

This item tests the meaning of the noun/verb "wreck" — to destroy or to cause to fail; also used for a person who is badly upset or in poor health.

Evaluate each option against that meaning.

Option A describes closures of public places; it does not illustrate something being "wrecked" in the intended sense.

Option B describes causing a relationship to fall apart and be destroyed; this directly matches the sense "to wreck (a relationship)".

Option C is a statement about differing conceptions and does not show destruction or severe upset.

Option D is an archaic judgement statement and does not illustrate the meaning.

Answer: B

Subject: Language — English (word-root knowledge).

The prefix theo- means 'relating to gods or deities'.

Option A explicitly refers to a god (Eros, the pagan god of love), so it illustrates the concept expressed by theo-.

Options B, C and D do not refer to deities and are therefore not examples of theo-.

Answer: A.

"Exodus" primarily means a mass departure or the act of going out; historically it names the Israelites' departure from Egypt.

Option B is a direct description of that event: "The going out or journey of the Israelites from Egypt under the conduct of Moses." It therefore matches the meaning of exodus.

Options A, C and D do not describe a mass withdrawal: A describes arrivals, C describes a person observing comings and goings, and D refers to eschatological timing rather than a departure.

Answer: B

Meaning: 'Ubiquitary' means present everywhere; synonymous with ubiquitous.

Option B explicitly describes enzymes (RNases) that are found broadly so the nucleic acid is degraded even under sterile conditions; this directly exemplifies something being ubiquitous.

Options A and D are unrelated to the idea of being present everywhere. Option C, as worded, says "present at many places at different times," which does not imply being present everywhere simultaneously.

Therefore, option B is correct.

If you are enchanted by someone or something, they cause you to have feelings of great delight or pleasure. In fairy stories and legends, to enchant someone or something means to put a magic spell on them.
Omar Sharif found the story so captivate that he chose this film to make his return to the screen is the best example of Enchant.
