To take a rain check

  • A.To get a refund
  • B.To postpone or reschedule an activity
  • C.To check the weather forecast
  • D.To give up on an activity

Answer: B

To take a rain check means to postpone or reschedule an activity, to decline an offer now while suggesting it be taken up later.

The phrase comes from the ticket stub given to spectators at an American baseball game called off because of rain, which let them attend a later game. So I'll take a rain check on dinner means 'not today, but another time'.

It does not mean getting a refund, checking the weather forecast, or giving up an activity altogether; the idea of doing it later is the essential part.
