Question

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
A rolling stone __________.
A) Gathers no sauce
B) Goes to the right bird
C) Gathers no moss
D) Falls in the well

Answer 1

Hint: Proverb is a short saying that is widely used to express an obvious truth. An example of a proverb is "Practice makes perfect."

Complete answer:
Option A) Gathers no sauce – is an incorrect answer because ‘gathers no sauce’ does not make any sense and makes the proverb meaningless “A rolling stone gathers no sauce’ is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Goes to the right bird – is an incorrect answer because ‘goes to the right bird’ does not fit in the proverb “a rolling stone”. Thus, this is an inappropriate option.

Option C) Gathers no moss – is the correct answer because “A rolling stone gathers no moss’ means people pay a price for being always on the move or people who keep moving avoid picking up responsibilities and cares (this proverb now has two meanings). Thus, is the correct proverb and is the correct answer.

Option D) Falls in the well – is an incorrect answer because ‘falls in the well’ means getting in some trouble and this will not complete the proverb “a rolling stone”. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘C’.

Note:A proverb is a simple, concrete and traditional saying that expresses a perceived truth based on common sense or experience. Thus, Option A is the most appropriate option as compared to any other option.
