Question 1 Report

Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

 

If you ask him to sing, he will do it at the drop of a hat. This means that he will sing

Answer Details
The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "If you ask him to sing, he will do it at the drop of a hat" is "immediately." The phrase "at the drop of a hat" is an idiom which means "without any hesitation or delay." Therefore, the sentence means that if you ask him to sing, he will do it immediately without any hesitation or delay. The other options are not the most appropriate interpretations of the sentence because they do not convey the sense of promptness or immediacy that the idiom "at the drop of a hat" implies.
