**Clue:** A SURPRISE party gets spoiled at the last minute - someone revealed the secret. **Answer: Option 1 - 'let the cat out of the bag'** (idiom: accidentally reveal a secret). | Idiom | Meaning | |---|---| | Let the cat out of the bag | reveal a secret - CORRECT | | Sent the cat out of the house | not an idiom | | Played cat and mouse | tease/toy with someone | | Set the cat among the pigeons | cause sudden uproar | **Trap:** All four involve cats. Match the idiom to the SPECIFIC situation (revealing a secret), not just the general topic.
