   Answer & explanation

   Answer: B) Give temporary help, usually financial

   Answer: Give temporary help, usually financial
   Solution:
   • The idiom “tide someone over” means to provide enough resources (often money) to help someone until a difficult period passes (अस्थायी सहायता देना).
   • It implies a shortterm boost to meet immediate needs, not a permanent solution.
   Why the other options are incorrect:
   • Ask someone for financial assistance – that would be “appeal to someone”, not “tide over.”
   • Complete a voyage successfully – describes a successful trip, unrelated to helping someone.
   • Get a boat ready to cross a river or water body – a literal interpretation of “tide,” but the idiom is metaphorical.
