Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"False friends are _______."

• A. as clear as day
• B. out of mind
• C. better than riches
• D. worse than open enemies
• E. good to be true

Answer 1

The correct option is D worse than open enemies

Option D is the correct answer because "false friends are worse than open enemies" means that it's better to know who your real enemies are rather than trust someone who pretends to be a friend but is capable of stabbing you in the back.

Options A, B, C and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
