Question

I need help right now!
Where is the Idiom in these two sencences?
1. The visitors gave warning a day ahead and we would be cautioned to put on shoes, comb our heads, and see to ears and fingernails.
2. My turn next, so I got on my mark, bringing my eyes back to the book and made sure of my place.

Answer 1

Answer: 1a: ‘comb our heads’ and ‘got on my mark, bringing my eyes back to the book’

Explanation: 1a: This is an idiom, as you do not actually comb your head, but rather your hair.

1b: No-one goes to a specific mark as they’re about to read a book, and you don’t (and physically can’t) drag your eyes to said book.

Hope this helped! Have a marvellous day!
