ইডিয়ম, ফ্রেজাল ভার্ব ও ভুল শনাক্তকরণ: প্রশ্ন ও উত্তর
ইডিয়ম, ফ্রেজাল ভার্ব ও ভুল শনাক্তকরণ টপিকে পেট্রোবাংলা ও জ্বালানি খাত নিয়োগ পরীক্ষার ৮৩টি প্রশ্ন আছে, এটি ইংরেজি ভাষা ও ব্যাকরণ বিষয়ের অংশ। নিচের ১৫টি নমুনা প্রশ্ন সঠিক উত্তর ও ব্যাখ্যাসহ দেওয়া হলো।
No error. "Without hard work" is a correct prepositional phrase, "there is" agrees with the singular "chance", and "hardly any" is the right way to say almost none. Since "hardly" already carries the negative, nothing else in the sentence should be negative, and nothing is.
"To adjust" is closest. To get along with someone means to live or work with them without friction, which needs adjusting to each other. "Accompany" means to go with someone, and "interest" and "walk" have no link to the idiom.
"Cancelled" matches. To call something off means to cancel a planned event. The union had threatened a strike, then dropped it at the last moment. "Rescheduled" would mean moving it to a later date, which the sentence does not say.
"Discourage" is right. To pour cold water on an idea or plan means to criticise it or show no enthusiasm, so people lose interest in it. "Encourage" is the opposite, and "to be calm" or "deceive" have nothing to do with the idiom.
"Popular" matches. Something in vogue is fashionable and widely followed at the moment. "Obsolete" is the opposite, meaning no longer in use, and "strong" or "irregular" do not describe how common a custom is.
"Into". The fixed saying is "out of the frying pan into the fire": escaping one trouble only to land in a worse one. "Into" shows movement from outside to inside, matching the image of falling from the pan into the flames.
"The, the". Both nouns refer to a specific bull and its specific body part, so both take the definite article. The usual idiom is "take the bull by the horns", meaning to face a hard problem head-on, and it uses "the" in both places too.
"Very rarely". "Once in a blue moon" describes something that happens almost never. A blue moon, an extra full moon in a season or month, comes only about every two to three years, which gives the phrase its sense of rarity.
"Dream". The line is from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, D.C., on 28 August 1963. The repeated phrase "I have a dream" is what the speech is known for, so the other words do not fit the quotation.
"Than". "Easier" is a comparative adjective, and comparatives are followed by "than". The saying "easier said than done" means something sounds simple but is hard to actually do. "More than" would double the comparison.
"As you sow, so you reap" matches. Both say that your results come from your own actions. "Tit for tat" means paying back harm with equal harm. "As the king, so the subject" is about people copying their leaders, and "Measure for measure" is about matching punishment to a crime.

সঠিক উত্তর: ঘ) While the operator was making the machine ready, the fire alarm went off.
Option D is correct. A "while" clause for an action in progress takes the past continuous ("was making"), and the interrupting action takes the simple past ("went off"). A mixes past and present tense, B joins two clauses with only a comma, and C drops the verb "was".
"Meet a very powerful opponent". To catch a Tartar means to take on someone you expected to beat and find them far too strong to handle. The phrase comes from the fierce reputation of Tatar warriors, but it has nothing to do with people from Turkey.
"দুর্দিন" is right. A rainy day, in this saying, means a future time of trouble or money shortage. Being prepared for a rainy day means saving or planning now so that hard times do not catch you empty-handed. It is not literally about the rainy season.
Option A, no change. "Predictions ... that the record was about to become obsolete" uses "that" to introduce the content of the predictions, and no comma belongs between a noun and such a clause. The other options insert commas that break this link or reorder the phrase awkwardly.
