On the horizonAnswer & explanation
Answer: C) An event that is likely to happen soon
Answer: An event that is likely to happen soon
Solution:
• The idiom “on the horizon” metaphorically refers to something approaching or imminent, much like a ship appearing on the horizon.
Why the other options are incorrect:
• The successful beginning of a business venture (व्यवसाय के सफल आरंभ) – describes a specific outcome, not general imminence.
• A plan for the distant future (दूर भविष्य की योजना) – implies longterm planning, whereas “on the horizon” means nearterm.
• An event that is likely to end soon (जल्द समाप्त होने वाला घटना) – suggests conclusion, opposite of something about to begin or occur.
