Hobson’s choice means:

Hobson’s choice means:

  • (a) Giving no choice at all
  • (b) To make the best choice
  • (c) To make the worst choice
  • (d) To settle for a compromise
  • A Hobson’s choice is, in essence, this: you have only one choice. You can either accept it or leave. It appears to be a choice, but it isn’t. 
  • Examples:
  • - Restaurant: “Today, we have only pasta. That is the only option available.” You can either have pasta or leave with nothing. It’s a Hobson’s choice.
  • - Office: “Either accept this assignment or resign.” There is no other choice; it is only a Hobson’s choice.
  • - School: “Either submit the project today or get zero marks.” There is no other choice; it is only a Hobson’s choice.
  • - Flight: “Either accept this rescheduled flight or cancel your ticket without a refund.” You are forced into one viable choice—a Hobson’s choice.
