IPMAT Indore 2025 · Verbal Ability · Question 6
IPMAT Indore 2025 previous year question on Idioms and Phrases, with the answer and a step-by-step solution.
- Adead ringer
- Bsilver lining
- Cred herring
- Dsilver bullet
Answer & solution
Answer: Option D
What the sentence needs. The “However… as efforts in conservation are equally crucial” tells us renewables are not the single complete solution. We need an idiom meaning a simple, complete cure-all.
The idiom. Silver bullet = a single, simple solution that solves a complex problem entirely. Saying renewables are “not a silver bullet” means they alone will not fix climate change. ✓
Why the others fail:
Idiom | Meaning | Why it fails |
|---|---|---|
dead ringer | an exact look-alike | about resemblance, not solutions |
silver lining | a consolation within a misfortune | the trap option — same word “silver”, wrong idiom |
red herring | a deliberate distraction from the real issue | would imply renewables are a diversion, contradicting “a key solution” |
Answer: Option 4 — silver bullet
