Question

Choose the best option to complete the conversation:
Teacher: He has broken the rules. I'm sorry.
Mom: I understand. Now he has to _______ the music.

• A. face
• B. hear
• C. take
• D. clear

Answer 1

The correct option is A face

'Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning of the words in the expression.'

Option A: From the options, 'face' forms an idiomatic expression 'face the music'. It means 'to receive punishment'. It relates to the given sentence "He has broken the rules."Hence A is the correct option.

The other words 'hear', 'take' and 'clear' each do not form an idiomatic expression. They all form literal meanings in the sentence, meanings which are not quite relevant. Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
