Question

Choose the correct meaning of the italicized idiom/phrase.
Mr Gupta, who is one of the trustees of a big charity, is suspected of feathering his own nest.

• A. being lazy in doing his work
• B. being too generous
• C. neglecting his job
• D. making money unfairly

Answer 1

The correct option is D making money unfairly

'Feathering his own nest' means to make yourself rich, especially in a way that is unfair or dishonest. E.g. The director was supposed to distribute the money to various charities, instead, he used it to feather his own nest. Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are wrong.
