statements are given with an idiom highlighted in bold. You have to select the answer choice that represents the combination of statements in which the idiom has been correctly used. 1.) When I confronted him, he started beating around the bush and refused to give a direct answer. 2.) It is time to get your act together and start planning for the project deadline. 3.) After a long day at work, I cannot wait to pull myself to pieces and get some rest.Solution
Solution Beating around the bush- avoiding talking about what is important. Get your act together- get organised, and do things effectively. Pull to pieces- to criticise severely. 1 is correct because when the speaker confronted the person, he started avoiding the important matter and refused to give a direct answer. 2 is correct because here the speaker is asking his friend to get organised and start planning for the project deadline. 3 is incorrect, as the sentence talks about the speaker's desire to sleep and get some rest after a long day at work. The correct idiom here is HIT THE SACK (go to sleep) . PULL TO PIECES is contextually incorrect here. Thus, B is the right answer.
