   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) To do something fully and thoroughly

   Meaning: to go the whole hog = to do a thing completely and thoroughly, holding nothing back *(पूरी तरह से करना, कोई कसर न छोड़ना)*.
   The idiom is about completeness, not about food, money or appetite — that is the whole trap.
   Origin.
   The phrase is usually traced to William Cowper's poem *The Love of the World Reproved* (1779), where scholars argue over which part of the hog is forbidden until, between them, they have quietly eaten the entire animal.
   An older slang reading makes *hog* a shilling, so going the whole hog meant spending the whole coin at one go.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • To consume a very large meal quickly *(जल्दी-जल्दी भारी भोजन कर जाना)* — that is to make a pig of oneself.
