Select the most appropriate meaning of the given proverb.
Still waters run deep.

  • A.People who are silent have profound thoughts.
  • B.When the water is not moving it is very still.
  • C.People who are introverts will have no friends.
  • D.People avoid taking baths in still waters.

Answer: A

The proverb 'Still waters run deep' means that people who are quiet and calm on the surface often have profound thoughts or strong feelings. Deep water often looks calm, which is the picture behind it. The second option takes the words literally, the third says that introverts have no friends, which the proverb does not claim, and the fourth is a literal remark about bathing. So the first option gives the meaning.
