- Yes, ____.

• A. Deeds not words
• B. Every dog has his day
• C. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours
• D. Everything is good in its season
• E. All is well that ends well

Answer 1

The correct option is B Every dog has his day

Option B is the correct answer because the proverb 'every dog has a day' means everyone will have good luck or success at some point in their lives. This meaning makes sense in the given context.

'Deeds not words' means that a person is known and judged more by his actions than by what he says.

The proverb 'scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' is used to tell someone that if they help you, you will help them.

'Everything is good in its season' means there is a good and appropriate time for everything.

'All is well that ends well' means that if the outcome of a situation is happy, this compensates for any previous difficulty or unpleasantness.

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