Phrase of the Day (a tall order)-01JUL22

Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is a tall order and it’s meaning is “something that is difficult to do; demanding, exacting, difficult, unreasonable, exorbitant, impossible”.

Example Sentence: To conclude, the central argument of Almåsa et al. (2022), that the rich are richer because they engage in non-productive grabbing behaviour in countries with weak institutions, stemming from a weak rule of law, malfunctioning bureaucracy and corruption, is largely corroborated in India. Whether it is feasible to strengthen public institutions in the present context seems a tall order.

This phrase is present in The Hindu article The selfishness and graft of the rich drive inequality and click here to read it.
