Question

Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the italicized bold part of the sentence:
His visit to foreign countries brought about a sea change in his outlook and his attitude towards people.

• A. favourable change
• B. complete change
• C. unfavourable change
• D. partial change

Answer 1

The correct option is B complete change

Option B: 'Sea change' is an idiomatic expression. These expressions have meanings different from the literal meanings of the individual words.

The expression means 'a profound or notable transformation, a complete change'.

The person's 'His' visit to foreign countries brought about a notable transformation, or a complete change in his outlook and attitude towards people.

Option B mentions the same. Hence it best expresses the meaning and is the correct option.

Options A, C and D do not give the meaning of the idiomatic expression. Hence they're wrong.
