In spite of the efforts of all peace loving people, world peace is still a far cry.
Answer: (a)
'A far cry' means 'a long way off'; 'an abstract ideal', 'an impracticable ideal' and 'out of reach' are meanings that can be further derived from 'a long way off'.
Eloquent lamentations regarding the fate of the flora and fauna are certain to be rendered a cry in the wilderness.
Answer: (d)
The boy escaped by a hair's-breadth in a street accident.
Answer: (b)
A 'hair's breadth escape' is one which almost failed or ended in disaster. A 'narrow escape' means an escape one attained with little margin. A 'lucky escape', on the other hand, may mean a narrow escape or a timely escape or even one very much desired.
His arguments cut both ways.
Answer: (b)
'Cut both ways' means 'has good and bad effects' (for an action) and 'support both sides' (in an argument). So (c) is much more suitable as an answer than (a) (‘work for both sides’).
