"A still tongue makes a wise head"   is an idiom. Option A is correct.

This saying may mean that someone who does not talk much, but listens to other people, probably has experience, knowledge and good judgement.

An idiom is a type figure of speech which should not be taken literally. It is established by usage that has a meaning not necessarily deductible from those of the individual words.

Idioms convey a particular sentiment, but they do not literally mean what the individual words themselves mean.

PART B: Which TWO quotes from the story best support the answer to Part A?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

B  “‘I won’t,’ said his friend doggedly. ‘I threw it on the fire. If you keep it, don’t blame me for what happens. Pitch it on the fire again, like a sensible man.’” ( Paragraph 42)

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "The Monkey's Paws." It is a supernatural story about<em> "three wishes,"</em> which can also be classified as a <em>horror story. </em>

Letter B supports the answer to PART A because it shows how that the soldier is warning Mr. White about the talisman. He said that it is best to throw it into the fire because it was causing<u> a lot of mischief</u>. However, Mr. White insisted that he'd take it. <u>The soldier then warned him not to blame him if something bad happens.</u> This shows how <em>Mr. White ignores the experience of the soldier </em>who already told him the <u>consequences</u> that may occur once the talisman is used.

So, this explains the answer.

Answer: Saying words with meaning as if you were speaking them is called phrasing. - FALSE

Saying words in a meaningful manner, while looking at someone's face as if you were speaking, to describe an event or express one's emotions is called an expression.

Expressions are used to convey or communicate one's thoughts or feelings. Besides the expression of speech, the idea of expression is now interpreted in a broader sense including physical and artistic expression.
