Question

Identify the meaning of the idioms or phrases given in capitals in the sentence:
Before the performance, the organiser told the artists to BREAK A LEG.

• A. give a warning
• B. good luck
• C. to wind up the programme
• D. to speed up the programme

Hint:

Some idioms have meanings that are opposite to what they literally say — like “break a leg” meaning “good luck.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

"Break a leg" is a common idiom used in the performing arts to wish someone good luck in a performance. It is believed that saying "good luck" directly might jinx the outcome.
Example:
- Break a leg! I hope your audition goes well.
