Hit the road means leave or start a journey. This answer is correct because the expression has a fixed figurative meaning in English. In an SSC idiom question, students should match the whole phrase with its accepted meaning rather than translate each word separately.

• Classroom example: Hit the road can refer to a situation involving leave or start a journey.
• Story example: A writer may use Hit the road when describing a situation involving leave or start a journey.
• Exam example: When a sentence contains Hit the road, choose the meaning “leave or start a journey.”
