    Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
    A bad egg

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: A) Someone who is dishonest and unreliable

    Answer: Someone who is dishonest and unreliable
    Solution:
    • The idiom “a bad egg” refers to a person who is dishonest or unreliable, much like an egg that’s gone bad and can’t be used.
    Why the other options are incorrect:
    • Someone who doesn’t like eggs – this is a literal dislike, not an idiomatic meaning.
    • Someone who likes to break eggs – describes a literal action, not a character trait.
    • Someone who regularly makes mistakes – could be “a poor sport” or “a blunderer,” but doesn’t capture the unreliability or dishonesty implied by “a bad egg.”
