Correct Answer: slow and steady


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

This idiom emphasises the importance of gradual and consistent effort, suggesting that taking one's time and proceeding at a steady pace is more effective in achieving long-term success. So, slow and steady is the appropriate idiom in this context.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Making a habit is to develop a routine or regular practice.

  • Ins and outs refer to the details or intricacies of a subject.

  • Do's and don'ts refer to a list of things that one should and shouldn't do in a particular situation.
