• D. 1-6, 2-8, 3-5, 4-7

Hint:

Recall idioms like foot the bill, couldn't stomach it, eyeing something, and palming off blame.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This question asks you to match idioms built on body parts with their meanings. Each body part is used in a common English idiom, so work out that idiom first, then match it to the meaning.

1. Palm (1): The phrase "to palm something off" means to pass blame, or an unwanted item, onto someone else. So palm matches "to put the blame on someone else" (7).
2. Foot (2): The phrase "to foot the bill" means to be made to pay for something. So foot matches "forced to pay the bill" (8).
3. Eye (3): To "eye" something means to look at it with envy or desire. So eye matches "to look at with envy and desire" (6).
4. Stomach (4): The phrase "couldn't stomach it" means could not tolerate it. So stomach matches "could not tolerate the insult" (5).

Putting these together gives 1-7, 2-8, 3-6, 4-5, which is option (3).

Let's summarize:

• Palm off means shift blame onto someone else.
• Foot the bill means be forced to pay.
• Eye something means look at it with envy or desire.
• Cannot stomach means cannot tolerate.

So the correct match is option (3), 1-7, 2-8, 3-6, 4-5.
