Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question
The sentence "Uche is full of himself" is an idiom. You are asked to choose the option that best explains what it really means, not what the words literally say.
Explain the concept
"To be full of oneself" means to think you are very important or better than others. It describes someone who is proud, arrogant, or self-absorbed. The word for this is conceited.
Work through the options
- A. He is conceited: This matches the idiom exactly. A conceited person has an excessively high opinion of himself.
- B. He is complete: This is a literal reading of "full." It does not fit the idiom.
- C. He is a rich man: Nothing in the sentence is about money.
- D. He is careful: Being careful has no connection to being "full of oneself."
Answer
The correct option is A. He is conceited.
Tip
In idiom questions, never trust the literal meaning of the words. Ask yourself, "What does this phrase mean when people say it?" Related idioms are "swollen-headed," "big-headed," and "puffed up with pride." All of them describe arrogance, and "full of oneself" belongs in the same group.
