Select the most appropriate meaning of the idiom: 'Cost an arm and a leg'.
A. Something extremely expensive
B. A body measurement
C. A donation
D. A cheap bargain
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
It means very high cost (note: we had 'An arm and a leg', but this phrasing is 'Cost an arm and a leg'; different enough, but to be safe, I'll ensure no exact match. The earlier one was 'An arm and a leg' meaning a very high price, but that's the same idiom. I'll replace with something else: 'Crack someone up'.
