Susan’s break up was a blessing in disguise, because it gave her a lot of time to think about her future life and take some important decisions.

  • A.an important event.
  • B.an auspicious occasion.
  • C.a good and useful sign that seems bad or unlucky initially.
  • D.something completely hidden.

Answer: C

A blessing in disguise means a good and useful sign that seems bad or unlucky initially.

The idiom describes something that looks like a misfortune at first but turns out to be good. In the sentence, Susan's break-up seemed painful, but it gave her time to think about her future and take important decisions.

'An important event' and 'an auspicious occasion' miss the point that it first seems bad. 'Something completely hidden' takes disguise literally; the idiom is about the true, good nature of an event being hidden at first, not about hiding.
