Question

Choose the correct meaning of the given phrase.

"Lose heart"

• A. Become desperate
• B. Feel sad
• C. Become angry
• D. Become discouraged

Answer 1

The correct option is D Become discouraged

To 'lose heart' means to become discouraged and stop believing that you can succeed. Therefore option D is the correct answer.

Options A, B and C are incorrect because 'become desperate' means to feel or show a hopeless sense that a situation is so bad as to be impossible to deal with, 'feel sad' refers to being unhappy, showing remorse and 'become angry' means refers to feeling or showing strong annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.
