Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:

He had to roam from _____________ for getting a job.

• A. Office to office
• B. Pillar to post
• C. Pillar and post
• D. Pillar to pillar

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pillar to post

An idiom is a phrase or an expression that has a meaning different from the literal meaning.

Option B: 'Pillar to post' is an idiomatic expression that means 'forced to keep moving from one place to another'.

It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here. 'He' had to keep moving from one place to another to get a job.

Hence option B is correct.

Options A, C and D:

'Office to office', 'pillar and post' and pillar to pillar' are not idiomatic expressions. They have a literal meaning, and do not form a complete meaningful sentence.

Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
