Select the most appropriate meaning of the idiom: 'Go on a wild goose chase'.
A. To follow a map
B. To hunt geese
C. To pursue a futile search
D. To find a treasure
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
It means a hopeless quest (similar to earlier but distinct, I'll ensure no duplicate; earlier we had 'A wild goose chase' but this phrase 'Go on a wild goose chase' is different. I'll keep it, but to avoid near-duplicate, I'll change to 'Go through fire and water'.)
