Correct Answer: reveal confidential information


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

"Letting the cat out of the bag" means revealing a secret or disclosing confidential information. The second option, "reveal confidential information", accurately represents the action described in the original sentence. The other options do not convey the specific idea of unintentionally disclosing a secret.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Murmur in the ears: This suggests a quieter or more secretive action.
  • Show off to his friends: This suggests a more deliberate action of displaying or boasting.
  • Take the gifts and brag: This suggests a different action related to accepting gifts and bragging.
