Question
In the question below, a sentence is given with a part
missing. From the options below, choose the correct combination of idioms that can fit in the blank to make the sentence grammatically and meaningfully correct. The lawyer _______ by bringing a lot of convincing evidence that made the jury believe in his client’s innocence. 1. Saved his skin 2. Moved heaven and earth 3. Took the bull by the hornsSolution
"Moved heaven and earth" means to make an extraordinary effort, which fits the context of the lawyer working hard to gather convincing evidence. "Saved his skin" means to avoid trouble or danger, and "Took the bull by the horns" means to take decisive action, but they are not as suitable for the scenario of proving innocence with evidence.
