Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the option nearest in meaning to the word(s) or phrase(s) Underlined:

Our experience on board the aircraft is nothing to write home about

Answer Details
The phrase "nothing to write home about" means that something is not remarkable or exceptional. Therefore, the option nearest in meaning to this phrase is "not remarkable". It implies that the experience on board the aircraft was not particularly noteworthy or outstanding. It was an average or ordinary experience, and there was nothing exceptional or impressive about it that would warrant a special mention to someone back home. The other options such as "not unpleasant," "nobody's business," and "not a home affair" do not convey the same meaning as the original phrase.
