Question

Choose the most appropriate alternative to the given idiom/phrase:

BY HOOK OR BY CROOK

• A. In a completely insane manner
• B. In whatever way one can
• C. Being very evil and destructive
• D. To be very tenacious

Answer 1

The correct option is B In whatever way one can

The given phrase means 'By any means possible'.

Option B is correct. 'In whatever way one can' means the same as 'by any means possible'. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Options A, C and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.

In option D, tenacious means 'persistent' or 'unyielding'.
