Answer:

B. idioms

Explanation:

Idioms are phrases or expressions that say one thing but are in fact conveying a different meaning which is previously culturally established.

If one tries to understand them literally, they won’t have much sense. Yet, those who know language proficiently will understand the meaning of these phases in a metaphoric sense accepted in the common language and the symbolic matter.

Some of the examples can be:

when the pigs fly – this means something will never happen, as pigs do not fly
piece of cake – means something is very easily achieved and accomplished with little effort.
to pull someone’s leg – idiom meaning to joke with someone, to make them believe in something which is not true, but in a playful way. \
to break the ice – meaning to do something first and make others at ease, to relieve the tension.

What event brought the end of the Mesozoic Era?

Afina-wow [57]

The most probable answer to this problem would be C. A global mass extinction.

The Mesozoic Era or what they commonly refer to as the age of the dinosaurs, is yet to be established as to what really did cause the extinction of life during this era. The popular belief and what is shared to the public to be remembered is that it was caused by an asteroid impact. The dust and ashes that it produced blocked the sky for days which caused the continuous death of organisms. In other sources, it can be said that massive volcanic eruptions occurred and filled the atmosphere with carbon dioxide. With the help of microbes eating carbon dioxide, they superheated the planet because in the process, these microbes eat carbon dioxide and release methane. Another one would be massive and continuous volcanic release of lava. It wasn't exactly determined if either one or maybe all of them occurred at once to wipe out life on that era.
