Choose the correct meaning of the idiom: Out and about

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Active and socializing

The question asks for the meaning of the idiom "out and about".

"Out and about" means being active and moving around outside, especially after a period of illness or confinement, and engaging normally with the world.

The option "Active and socializing" best captures this sense of being up, mobile and engaging with others.

"At home resting" is the opposite of being out and about.

"Doing errands" is too narrow; the idiom implies general activity and social movement rather than only running chores.

"Traveling to distant places" overstates the meaning, which refers to ordinary local movement, not long journeys.

Hence the correct meaning is Active and socializing.
