Question

Identify the meaning of the idiom or phrase in capitals from the choices.
She had to FACE THE MUSIC after making a mistake at work.

• A. Listen to music as a source of comfort
• B. Face the consequences for one's actions
• C. Perform in front of an audience
• D. Resolve a conflict through peaceful means

Hint:

"Face the music'' means to take responsibility when you’re in trouble.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The idiom "face the music'' is often used when someone must accept punishment or criticism for what they did.
In the sentence, the person made a mistake at work — so now she has to accept whatever results from that mistake.
Let’s look at the options:
- Option A: Listening to music is not related to the meaning.
- Option B: Facing consequences fits perfectly.
- Option C: Performing is unrelated.
- Option D: Conflict resolution doesn’t match the sentence.
Hence, the best meaning is Option B.
