Question : Select the most appropriate meaning of the underlined idiom. He ate the whole bunch of grapes under the nose of all of us.
Option 1: After much persuasion
Option 2: In full view of somebody
Option 3: Sharing equally
Option 4: Secretly
Correct Answer: In full view of somebody
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The idiom "under the nose of" means doing something openly or in a way that is easily noticeable, often in close proximity to others who surprisingly fail to notice it. The sentence, "He ate the whole bunch of grapes under the nose of all of us," it implies that he ate the grapes right in front of everyone, quite visibly, yet no one seemed to notice or stop him.
The phrase emphasises the boldness or sneakiness of the action being performed openly yet going unnoticed.
