Correct Answer: Chapter and verse.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The idiom, chapter and verse means giving precise details or citing specific evidence about something. It means providing detailed information or being able to refer to specific sources accurately, which makes it the appropriate choice.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Buying the pig in a poke means purchasing something without examining it beforehand.
  • Cast pearls before swine signifies giving something valuable to someone who doesn't appreciate or understand its worth. It suggests offering something of high value to those who cannot or do not appreciate it.
  • Beating about the bush means avoiding getting to the main point or being indirect about something. It suggests not addressing a topic directly and instead talking about it.
