[Answer]
こんな寒い日には、あたたかいものを(2 飲むに限る)。
On a cold day like this, nothing beats drinking something warm.
〜に限る
– Means “This is the best choice” or “Nothing beats this.”
– Used to emphasize that something is the ideal or most appropriate choice.
2 飲むに限る
– Drinking is the best choice.
In this sentence, the speaker is saying that drinking something warm is the best thing to do on a cold day.
Other Choices:
1. 飲まないに限る:
– Not drinking is the best choice.
〜に限らない:
– Means “not limited to ~.”
3. 飲まないに限らない:
– Not drinking is not the only option.
4. 飲むに限らない:
– Drinking is not the only option.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
