Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention". "Sticks and stones don't break bones," she chanted. Yoyo could tell, though, by t

he look on her face, it was as if one of those stones the kids had aimed at her daughters had hit her. But she always pretended they were at fault. "What did you do to provoke them? It takes two to tangle, you know.” What is the original meaning of the underlined idiom in this excerpt? People should not criticize others if they have similar problems. Sometimes, it is difficult for a person to make a decision. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can. A person who keeps moving has no responsibilities and no cares.

The meaning of the underlined word is that "<span>Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can."  I said that because it's a phrase that others use. no matter how hard you try to belittle someone at the end of the day it's just words that came out of someone's mouth who won't even matter in like 2 years now throw a stone .... that hurts allllooootttt  but yea go with C</span>

The correct answer is C.

The idiom "Stick and stones may break my bone" (sometimes followed by "but words can never hurt me") means that you may hurt me physically, but you cannot affect me with your words. It means that the words spoken have been registered, but did not have any effect.
