In the following question, out of the given four alternatives, select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the Idiom/Phrase. With a grain of salt

  • A.To add salt to enhance taste
  • B.To trust without doubts
  • C.Gentrification
  • D.To consider with reservation

Answer: D

To take something with a grain of salt means to consider it with reservation, that is, not to accept it as wholly true without doubt. It does not mean adding salt to improve taste, and it is not the same as trusting without doubts, which is the opposite. Gentrification is the movement of better-off people into a poorer area, which has nothing to do with the idiom. The answer is To consider with reservation, option (D).
