Question

Which of the following expressions is considered a typical idiom or usage in Indian English?

• A. Beat around the bush
• B. Kindly revert back
• C. Go the extra mile
• D. Break the ice

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Kindly revert back

Kindly revert back is common in Indian formal English but redundant in Standard English, where revert already implies "to reply." This is another example of an Indianism.
