Question : Select the most appropriate meaning of the underlined idiom.
He was beaming from ear to ear.
Option 1: Playing
Option 2: Smiling broadly
Option 3: Criticising bitterly
Option 4: Working
Correct Answer: Smiling broadly
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The idiom beaming from ear to ear is used to describe someone who is pleased, and the context indicates a positive emotion. The word "beaming" itself conveys a sense of radiant happiness. In this case, the person is not playing, working, or criticising bitterly; instead, the idiom suggests a wide, happy smile.
Therefore, the right answer is, smiling broadly.
