নিচের অনুচ্ছেদটি পড়ে প্রশ্নের উত্তর দাও: Throughout history, the search for salt has played an important role in society. Where it was scarce, salt was traded ounce for ounce with gold. Rome’s major highway was called the ‘via salaria’, that is the Salt Road. Along the road, Roman soldiers transported salt crystals from the salt flats at Ostia up the Tiber River. In return, they received a ‘salarium’ or salary, which was literally money paid to soldiers to buy salt. The old saying ‘worth their salt’, which means to be valuable, derives from the custom of payment during the Empire. If a man is ‘worth his salt’, he is—

  1. কa soldier
  2. খa thirsty man
  3. গa valuable employee
  4. a highly paid workerসঠিক উত্তর

সঠিক উত্তর: a highly paid worker

অনুচ্ছেদে বলা আছে ‘worth their salt’ মানে ‘to be valuable’ — তাই ‘a highly paid worker’-এর বদলে ‘a valuable employee’ সঠিক হওয়া উচিত।
