Answer 1

Hint:Seventh heaven is used to refer to the state of an emotion. It is used to refer to a blissful state and is considered the highest place of heaven.

Complete answer:
Option A) Maheep was seven years old when he got the news – is an incorrect answer because ‘seventh heaven’ does not define the age of the person and therefore, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Maheep died of heart attack when he heard the news – is an incorrect answer because ‘seventh heaven’ is the happy emotion of a person and Maheep did not die in the main sentence and this option does not make any sense. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option C) Maheep was on the seventh floor of the building when he heard the news – is an incorrect answer because seventh heaven is not used to denote the floor numbers. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Maheep was extremely happy when he got the news – is the correct answer because the meaning of seventh heaven means extremely happy. For example: My parents were in seventh heaven when they entered my new home. So, this option is the most appropriate answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘D’.

Note:Seventh heaven is an idiom and idioms are short phrases and seventh heaven defines the happy emotion of the person. Thus, Option D is the best fit.
