Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Promise little ______.

• A. who laughs last
• B. but do much
• C. that ends well
• D. while the sun shines
• E. never found again

Answer 1

The correct option is B but do much

Option B is the correct answer because 'promise little but do much' means that you shouldn't make a lot of promises, as you may not be able to keep them. That leads to disappointment and resentment. It is best to make the promises and then do more than you were intending to.

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