Question and options
Four alternatives are given for the idiom / phrase underlined in the sentence. Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the idiom/phrase. (The underlined idiom/phrase is shown in square brackets.)
The opinions in the meeting [fell flat].
- were widely accepted
- did not produce the desired effect
- were not goal oriented
- left everyone awestruck
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - did not produce the desired effect
'Fell flat' means failed to produce the intended effect or response, so 'did not produce the desired effect'. 'Were widely accepted' and 'left everyone awestruck' are opposites, and 'were not goal oriented' is unrelated.
