Memory trick · Prashant Sir
शेर जंगल का राजा है। जब भी शिकार का बँटवारा होगा, सबसे बड़ा हिस्सा शेर ही लेगा। इसलिए the lion's share = सबसे बड़ा भाग।
The lion is king of the jungle; whenever the kill is shared, the lion takes the biggest part. So 'the lion's share' is the largest portion.
Exam note
Answer = सबसे बड़ा हिस्सा। 'A drop in the bucket' (नगण्य मात्रा) इसका उल्टा है, और 'equitable' share का मतलब न्यायसंगत हिस्सा।
Answer = the largest part. 'A drop in the bucket' (a tiny amount) is its opposite, and an 'equitable' share would be a fair one.
