Write an original sentence that contains this idiom and implies it’s meaning
frez [133]

Idioms exist in every language. They are words or phrases that aren't meant to be taken literally. For example, if you say someone has "cold feet," it doesn't mean their toes are actually cold. Rather, it means they're nervous about something. Idioms can't be deduced merely by studying the words in the phrase.

Why did the author meet with his crush's father?
Lina20 [59]

He had to prove he was good enough to her father.​

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the content of "What adolescents miss when we let them grow up", Brent Staples communicates how the Internet has changed the manner in which young people connect with the world. With Internet, direct, up close and personal collaborations and contacts just as gathering exercises never again become piece of young people's life.  

Brent begins by how he needed to meet his sweetheart's dad back when he was in tenth grade. He thinks of it as his "first continued experience with a grown-up outside my family who should have been persuaded of my value as an individual," (Staples). Be that as it may, if he somehow managed to experience it again today, he would most likely simply utilize the Internet to "outmaneuver" him (Staples).  

Web permits adolescents to associate with the world by a solitary snap, anyway it has flopped in setting them up for adulthood by lessening social experiences. These days, young people invest such a great amount of energy in the Internet that the time spent on genuine, social exercises has diminished essentially. Not just that, substantial utilization of Internet influences feelings too. Adolescents feel all the more desolate, disappointed, discouraged, and so forth., yet they despite everything tumble to Internet's enchantments.  

The Internet, in spite of its positive purposes, has prompted negative activities. Brent makes reference to a tale around a 15-year-old who acted like a lawful master for an Internet data administration. He was found and blamed for extortion. Brent considers his "an offspring of the Net," (Staples).  The sky is the limit in the realm of Internet. Be that as it may, young people who invest a lot of energy gazing at their screens won't have the option to experience the significant and vital encounters that they need so as to turn into a grown-up in reality.
