Question

Directions: Read the following sentence and choose the correct answer
“Shedding crocodile tears” means _______________.

  1. Be in trouble
  2. Insincere display of emotions
  3. Be nervous

hintHint:

Insincere display of emotions

The correct answer is: Insincere display of emotions


    The actual fact is, crocodiles cry when they eat their prey or the victims. They satisfy their hunger by hunting their prey yet they cry. This symbolizes that they cry just for sake of their prey's death which is not the true emotion. The same way, if somebody cries or shows fake emotions, then we say that the person is shedding crocodile tears. The person will satisfy his/her own needs but they will show the false reaction for the sake of world.
