Pick the correct meaning of the expression It goes without saying.
Note
It goes without saying means it is obvious and does not need to be said. 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: It goes without saying can refer to a situation involving it is obvious and does not need to be said.
- Story example: A writer may use It goes without saying when describing a situation involving it is obvious and does not need to be said.
- Exam example: When a sentence contains It goes without saying, choose the meaning “it is obvious and does not need to be said.”
