Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and complete the idiom. A drop in the _________.

  • A.sea
  • B.pond
  • C.island
  • D.ocean

Answer: D

The idiom is 'a drop in the ocean', meaning a very small amount compared with what is needed. 'Drop in the sea' is not the established form of the idiom, and 'drop in the pond' and 'drop in the island' are not idioms at all.

The idiom 'a drop in the ocean' describes a quantity so small that it makes no noticeable difference to a much larger whole, as with a small donation against a very large need.
