The rich businessman bought a luxury duplex apartment that must have cost a/an _________ .

Solution

Correct Option: 4

Clue: A LUXURY duplex - very expensive. We need an idiom for high cost.

Answer: Option 4 - 'cost an arm and a leg' (idiom: cost a lot of money).

The others:

  • 'Large bushelful' - not a standard idiom for cost
  • 'Incredulous bombshell' - 'incredulous' means disbelieving; the phrase is meaningless
  • 'Entire legacy' - sounds plausible but isn't a recognised idiom

Trap: 'Entire legacy' feels like real English because the words are familiar. But idioms are FIXED phrases - stick to ones you can actually quote.
