Idioms are phrases that don't have a literal meaning. This means that we can't conclude what a phrase means based on the meanings of words that make it up. We simply have to learn what these phrases mean.
An example of an idiom is <em>in one ear and out the other</em><em>.</em> This doesn't mean that something enters through one and exits through the other ear. Actually, this expression refers to an instance when someone ignores, dismisses, or forgets something almost immediately after being told. In this case, Dahl's antagonist keeps forgetting Billy's name instantly after hearing it.
The adjective clause in this sentence is 'who has read thousands of books'. It is an appositive, separated from the rest of the text by commas, and has an adjectival meaning - it modifies the noun, Anthony.
The sentence that has a mismatch between subject and modifier is the last one - Shortly after entering the museum, the mummy caught Kim's attention.
The way it is written, the sentence means that the mummy entered the museum, when it actually refers to Kim.
