Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.

After he let the cat out of the bag about the surprise party, it was no longer a secret.

Option 1: murmur in the ears

Option 2: reveal confidential information

Option 3: show off to his friends

Option 4: take the gifts and brag

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: reveal confidential information


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

"Letting the cat out of the bag" means revealing a secret or disclosing confidential information. The second option, "reveal confidential information", accurately represents the action described in the original sentence. The other options do not convey the specific idea of unintentionally disclosing a secret.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Murmur in the ears: This suggests a quieter or more secretive action.
  • Show off to his friends: This suggests a more deliberate action of displaying or boasting.
  • Take the gifts and brag: This suggests a different action related to accepting gifts and bragging.

Statements:

Option 2: Only conclusion I follows

Option 3: Both conclusions I and II follow

Option 4: Only conclusion II follows

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some rats are cats – From the above diagram, it is clear that there is a negative relation between rats and cats. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): Some dogs are rats – From the above diagram, it is clear that no cats are rats, and the circle of dogs is completely inside the circle of cats. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
