To grease the palm means . . . . . . .
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The phrase "to grease the palm" is an idiom.
Idioms are expressions where the meaning isn't obvious from the individual words.
Think of it like this: you don't literally grease someone's hand with oil!
Instead, "to grease the palm" means to bribe someone.
A bribe is a payment made to someone to influence their actions, often illegally or unethically.
So, the correct answer is Option B: To bribe.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they don't reflect the true meaning of the idiom.
