Choose the best English equivalent of the following proverb.L'habit ne fait pas le moine.

Answer
A
You can't judge a book by its cover.
B
Every cloud has a silver lining.
C
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
D
A rose by any other name still smells as sweet.

Explanation

The French proverb means “the clothes do not make the monk”: a person’s appearance or clothing does not necessarily show what they are really like. “You can't judge a book by its cover” expresses the same idea, so it is the best equivalent. The other choices concern optimism, personal taste, or a name rather than judging by appearance.
