Directions: Identify the words that are similar in meaning to the phrase in bold. If none of option conveys the correct meaning, mark (E) as your answer. The options do not necessarily need to be grammatically correct.
Indian politicians love to stage dharnas or sit-ins at the drop of a hat, quite often taking their political melodrama to ridiculous levels.
Immediately
Incorrect AnswerDiligently
Incorrect AnswerNone of these
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct Answer is (b).
‘At the drop of a hat’ means without any hesitation or instantly without giving much thought before doing something.
‘Immediately’ is close but it does not explicitly mean doing something without giving any thought. ‘Diligently’ and ‘factual’ are completely out of context in the given question. Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
