Choose the meaning of the idiom: once in a blue moon.

  • A. very frequently
  • B. very rarely
  • C. at night only
  • D. immediately

Explanation

A blue moon is a second full moon in one calendar month, an uncommon event, so the phrase means something that happens very seldom. It is the opposite of every now and then, which suggests moderate frequency. The colour plays no part in the meaning.
