bm717:

What do you think is the answer?

bm717:

Let's go through the answer choices. A. From the google definition, Idiom means id·i·om ˈidēəm noun 1. a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., rain cats and dogs, see the light ). Is that first sentence an idiom?

shasha12:

I think the answer is B or D maybe

bm717:

Let's look at D. In books, is it the major characters that learn morals, or minor characters? (Hint, if it was minor, than the minor characters would be major.)

shasha12:
