Give a piece of one's mind 

Last updated Oct 16, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — To rebuke someone strongly
Here is why:

To "give someone a piece of your mind" means to speak to them angrily because they have done something wrong or because you strongly disapprove of their behavior. It is a sharp scolding or reprimand (a rebuke).
