B: Can't make out. Neither kind nor strict. ______.

• A. Neither fish nor flesh.
• B. Too good to be true.
• C. To turn over a new leaf.
• D. When pigs fly.
• E. Well begun is half done.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Neither fish nor flesh.

Option A is the best proverb that suits the given context because 'neither fish nor flesh' means neither one thing nor another; not belonging to any suitable class or description.

'Too good to be true' means that something is so great or impressive as to be difficult to believe.

'To turn over a new leaf' means to start over, to act in a different manner or change your attitude about something.

'When pigs fly' is a way of saying that something will never happen.

'Well begun is half done' means that a good beginning almost assures success.

Options B, C, D and E are incorrect because none of these proverbs suits the given context.
