Incomplete question. The options read;

a. People should not criticize others if they have similar problems.

b. Sometimes, it is difficult for a person to make a decision.

c. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can.

d. A person who keeps moving has no responsibilities and no cares.

Answer:

c. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can.

Explanation:

First, we may wonder: <em>what is an idiom? </em>Put simply, it refers to the use of words or sentences whose actual meaning is implied in most cases.

So the expression, <em> "Sticks and stones don't break bones," </em>has an implied meaning relating to the fact our <u>words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can.</u>

2. In the article, Canadian Olympic curler Brad Gushue says that if you "socialize with the wrong person, at the
Marysya12 [62]

The main thing which the quote tells you about the sacrifices that elite athletes need to make to be successful is:

  • They need to give up comfort, time, blood, sweat and tears to become successful.

The connections which I can make between this idea and the personal sacrifices that many people have been making during the pandemic is:

  • Many people have had to forego going outside to their favorite places so as not to spread the virus and also for the health workers that are in the frontline and putting their lives in danger is a huge sacrifice.

<h3>Who is an Olympian?</h3>

This refers to a top level athlete who has been training for a very long time to compete at the Olympic events to win gold medals.

Although the article wasn't mentioned, it can be inferred that Brad Gushue was of the opinion that a wrong association at the wrong time can end an Olympic dream.

As a result of this, he shows the sacrifice which these Olympic athletes and athletes in general has to make in order to become successful by maintaining a very high level.
