All five questions and 20 choices were corroborated on three pages displaying 20 October 2026. Original English wording, spelling, capitalization and option order are preserved. Idiom meanings were checked independently using Rekhta and Merriam-Webster references. Q3 includes a note identifying the Urdu idiom behind the collected Roman spelling. English and Urdu explanations were reviewed. These answers are fact-checked; acceptance in the My Telenor app has not been confirmed.
Question 1: What does the Urdu idiom "Range haathon pakra jana" mean?
ATo get paint on your hands
BTo draw a picture
CTo win a prize
To be caught doing something wrongCorrect answer
Why this answer?
Range haathon pakra jana means being caught in the act of wrongdoing. Rekhta’s red-handed entry connects the Urdu expression with the time of an offence or immediately afterwards. In these choices, being caught doing something wrong fits; painting hands, drawing and winning a prize do not describe that situation.
02QUESTION 2Fact-checked
Question 2: What does the English idiom "Miss the boat" mean?
Miss an opportunityCorrect answer
BTravel by ship
CGo fishing
DArrive early
Why this answer?
Miss the boat means failing to take an opportunity while it is available. The expression is figurative, so an actual boat journey is not required. Miss an opportunity matches the idiom; travelling by ship, fishing and arriving early are different actions.
03QUESTION 3Fact-checked
Question 3: What does the Urdu idiom "Haath batana" mean?
The source spelling Haath batana is preserved. This answer uses the Urdu idiom ہاتھ بٹانا (haath baTaanaa), meaning to lend a hand.
ATo wave your hand
To help someoneCorrect answer
CTo clap
DTo point at someone
Why this answer?
The collected Roman Urdu wording Haath batana is understood here as haath baTaanaa, written ہاتھ بٹانا: helping with a task or sharing the work. The options ask for this helping sense. Waving, clapping and pointing are hand movements, but they do not express lending assistance.
04QUESTION 4Fact-checked
Question 4: What does the English idiom "Burn the midnight oil" mean?
ACook dinner
BWaste electricity
Stay up late working or studyingCorrect answer
DLight a fire
Why this answer?
Burn the midnight oil describes working or studying far into the night. The idiom focuses on staying awake to do a task, rather than literally cooking or lighting a fire. Stay up late working or studying is therefore the matching choice, not simply wasting electricity.
05QUESTION 5Fact-checked
Question 5: What does the Urdu idiom "Naak kat jana" mean?
ATo get hurt
To lose respectCorrect answer
CTo become ill
DTo cry
Why this answer?
Naak kat jana is a figurative expression for suffering disgrace or losing honour and standing. The question asks for that idiomatic meaning, so To lose respect fits. A physical injury, illness or crying is not the meaning being tested by these choices.
