error in explanation (Question:946763.2)

its SBI PO Prelims All India Mock 2019, question no. 28. a word guilding is used with explanation but when on searching it in dictionary, there is no word like that.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: In each question, there are three sentences. Each sentence has a pair of words that are italicized and highlighted. From the italicized and highlighted words, select the most appropriate word (a or b) to form correct sentences. These sentences are followed by options that indicate the words, which may be selected to complete the set of sentences correctly. From the options given choose the most appropriate one.

1. The report alludes (a) / eludes (b) to something that is now forgotten.

2. After the delicious meal, serving the tasty dessert would be guilding (a) / gilding (b) the lily.

3. Shakespeare the bard (a) / barb (b) brought alive Caesar in his ‘Julius Caesar’.

Options:
A) aba
B) aab
C) abb
D) bbb
E) aaa
Solution:

‘Alludes’ means to refer to and ‘elude’ means to evade. The first word is suitable here. 

‘Gilding the lily’ is an idiom and it means to superfluously improve something which is already very good. This suits the context very well. ‘Guilding’ means to cover with gold leaf, and is not suitable here.

‘Bard’ means a poet’, while barb’ means ‘a cutting remark’. The first word is suitable here.
