Choose the correct meaning of the idiom: See eye to eye

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

To agree fully with someone else

The task is to give the correct meaning of the idiom 'see eye to eye'.

Although the phrase mentions eyes, an idiom's meaning is figurative and cannot be worked out by adding up its literal words.

To 'see eye to eye' with someone means to be in full agreement, sharing the same opinion, view or outlook on a matter.

Option D, 'To agree fully with someone else', states this figurative meaning directly and is correct.

Option A, staring intensely, and option B, understanding a visual concept, both read the phrase literally through the eyes and so miss the idiom.

Option C, disagreeing completely, is the exact reverse of agreement and therefore the opposite of the idiom's sense.

Rule: an idiom carries a settled figurative meaning, not the sum of its words; here it means To agree fully with someone else.
