Question

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb :
His bread is buttered ___________.

• A. on the edge
• B. on both sides
• C. on the one side
• D. on the other side

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

on both sides

The proverb, 'Butter one's bread on both sides' means: 'To benefit from two things at the same time, especially when those things seems contradictory or incompatible'. Hence, the phrase, 'on both sides' meaningfully completes the given sentence. Option B is correct.

The other words given in options A, C and D do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect.
