Question

Choose the best proverb that corresponds to the given context.
What will the travelers say when they come safe to the end of their journey, having gone through many dangerous adventures?

• A. To take the bull by the horn.
• B. To kill two birds with one stone.
• C. Two heads are better than one.
• D. There is no smoke without fire.
• E. All is well that ends well.

Answer 1

The correct option is E All is well that ends well.

Option E is the best proverb that suits the given context because 'all is well that ends well' means that if the outcome of a situation is happy, this compensates for any previous difficulty or unpleasantness.

'To take the bull by the horn' means to deal with a difficult situation in a very direct way.

'To kill two birds with one stone' means to succeed in achieving two things in a single action.

'Two heads are better than one' means that it's helpful to have the advice or opinion of a second person.

'There is no smoke without fire' means that if unpleasant things are said about someone or something, there is probably a good reason for it.

Options A, B, C and D are incorrect because none of these proverbs suits the given context.
