Question : Select the most appropriate meaning of the bracketed idiom in the given sentence.
The first sample of ore from the trial boring is very promising, but we should remember that (one swallow does not make a summer).
Option 1: The fact of failure or escape is not affected by the narrowness of the margin.
Option 2: To come out of one trouble and get into a worse.
Option 3: A single fortunate event does not mean that what follows will also be good.
Option 4: The whole of everything.
Correct Answer: A single fortunate event does not mean that what follows will also be good.
Solution : The third option is correct.
Explanation : It's a cautionary phrase emphasising that one positive occurrence or outcome doesn't guarantee a string of positive outcomes. In the given sentence, it warns against placing too much significance on the promising first sample of ore and assuming all subsequent samples will be equally favourable.
Therefore, the correct answer is: "A single fortunate event does not mean that what follows will also be good."
