Core5 mapped NDA questions
Build the idea
Build exam-ready understanding by connecting the core idea, formulas or facts, worked example and previous NDA questions. Focus on why each rule works, then test it under timed conditions.
Concept
An idiom is given (often underlined in a sentence) and you choose its figurative meaning, not the literal one. The exam reuses common idioms year after year.
Learn a handful daily with an example sentence so the meaning sticks.
Key Points & Formulas
- Idioms are non-literal — judge by usage, not word-by-word.
- Context in the sentence usually hints at the meaning.
- Maintain a personal idiom list with example sentences.
- Common ones: 'a wild goose chase', 'in hot water', 'turn a blind eye'.
Worked Example
Q. Meaning of 'to turn a blind eye' in: 'The manager turned a blind eye to the lapses.'
The idiom means to deliberately ignore something wrong.
So it means 'to ignore / pretend not to notice'.
