I'm doing some exercises online, I have to deal with this question.
He has a one ......... mind as all he ever talks about is money, money, money.
(a) track
(b) road
(c) path
(d) rail
How am I going to be able to decide which option to choose? Is the answer a set idiom or can it be different in other circumstances?
thank you for your help
Answer
A person whose thoughts always turn to a particular subject (e.g. sex, money, football, whatever) regardless of the current topic of conversation is said (colloquially) to have a "one-track mind".
A person who finds a sexual double entendre in nearly everything people say could be said to have a one-track mind. Austin Powers has a one-track mind. :-)
