What does giving someone a "rain check" mean?

Declining an offer permanently
Promising to accept an offer later
Ignoring an invitation
Accepting an offer immediately

The correct answer is: Promising to accept an offer later

Giving someone a "rain check" means promising to accept an offer later. This phrase originated from the world of baseball, where it referred to providing a ticket for a future game if the current game was postponed due to rain. In social contexts, when someone is unable to accept an invitation or offer at the current time but expresses a desire to do so in the future, they are essentially indicating that they would like to take advantage of that invitation later on. This reflects a level of politeness and openness to future interactions, indicating that while they can't engage at the moment, they appreciate the offer and hope to revisit it another time.
