Why is the answer “idiomatic expressions”? Expressions implies that there are at least 2. What are the two — or even 1 — idiomatic expressions?
Well, I got the question right reasoning that it could be the other answer choices. I think the pharse “hard way” in lines 3-4 is an idiomatic expression ,but I can’t find any more. Maybe “guru of ant gurus” in line 27.
@porschefan Yes I agree that the other choices are bad. Still, it’s a passage, so there should be a way to at least reason that “idiomatic expressions” can be sensible.
I did what you did and got the question by process of elimination. Definitely no quotations. I didn’t feel like the first two paragraphs are not personal enough to be a personal anecdote, and nothing elsewhere was much of a personal story. He wasn’t critical of himself, let alone did he really have any asides.
