Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined word in the given proverb. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.
Keep your face always toward the clouds, and shadows will fall behind you.
Answer: B
The word that can replace 'clouds' is 'sunshine'. The proverb is 'Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you'. The picture is of a person who turns to the light so that the shadows are cast behind. Facing clouds would not make shadows fall behind.
'Sky' and 'ground' do not give the same sense of turning to the light, and 'No substitution required' is wrong because the sentence with 'clouds' does not make sense as a proverb: clouds do not cast shadows behind the person who faces them. The second option is the answer.
