Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The idiom "to have a brush with" means to have a brief or slight encounter with someone or something, often unexpectedly. It can refer to a minor confrontation, an incidental meeting, or a close but not serious experience with danger or trouble. The phrase is commonly used to describe situations where someone has a near miss or a brief contact without significant consequences.

The other options, such as to start painting, to have good and pleasing terms, and to be impressed, do not convey the same meaning as the idiom "to have a brush with."
