Question

Choose the best proverb that corresponds to the given context.
I have a young sister. From her childhood she dreamt of becoming a pianist. When she was seven our mother sent her to the music school. At first it was difficult for a little girl to spend hours playing the piano and she could not achieve much progress; but my sister didn't give up. Time passed. From year to year, she became more skilful and succeeded in her dream.

• A. Practice makes perfect.
• B. As clear as a day.
• C. Everthing is good in its season.
• D. East of west - home the best.
• E. There is no place like home.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Practice makes perfect.

Option A is the best proverb that suits the given context because 'practice makes perfect' means that a regular exercise of an activity or skill is the way to become proficient in it.

Options B is incorrect because 'as clear as a day' means very clearly, option C is incorrect because 'everything is good in its season' means that everything has a good and appropriate time. Options D and E are incorrect because both these proverbs mean that home is the best place.
