Shelia took the rap for her brother when he broke the antique lamp.

English
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago

Answer:

It is an Idiomatic expression.

Explanation:

An idiomatic expression is a phrase or group of words whose meaning cannot be deduced from the literal words used. In the sentence above, 'to take the rap', simply means to take the blame for an offense for which the individual may or may not be guilty of. So, Sheila was blamed or punished when her brother broke the antique lamp. The native speakers of a language are quite familiar with the idiomatic expressions in their language.  

I knew that the phrase, 'took the rap', was an idiomatic expression because I could not easily deduce its meaning from just the literal words used. So I understood that there must have been a deeper meaning to it.

Write 8 sentences about what you did over the summer holidays.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

This summer was awesome. I did a ton of cool things and learned a lot.  

 

In June I got a new SIMS game where you can make mermaids and go scuba diving in the ocean! I spent lots of time every day making new characters and watching them get mauled by sharks. It was super educational. Who knew that sharks are just as likely to attack a mermaid as they are a human? And that mermaids bleed red blood? I also designed some cool houses. Like 183 of them. Since I’m thinking of one day designing giant houses with many rooms that do not connect and backyards that contain every recreational item there possibly is, it was time well spent.

BRAINLEST. Read the passage.
nevsk [136]

Answer: by explaining how it took many people to coordinate the first successful flight

Explanation:

As much as history mostly remembers only the Wright brothers for this first flight, this passage shows that teamwork was necessary for the impossibility of flight to become possible as it showed how it took different people to coordinate that first flight.

From the men who worked at the Life-Saving station to the men who placed tracks on the ground to the men who kept time. They worked as a team and were all needed for the first successful flight.
