Question

Select the correct meaning of the underlined phrase or idiom.

He did me a good turn by recommending me for the post of Vice Principal.

• A. became suddenly good
• B. improved my prospects
• C. did an act of kindness
• D. returned my kindness

Answer 1

The correct option is C did an act of kindness

'Did me a good turn' means 'do a favour'. So option C is the most appropriate meaning for the given idiom.

Options A and B are incorrect because they do not convey anything about returning a favour.

Option D is incorrect because the given sentence indicates that one did someone a favour because of the help the first did earlier.
