The definition of an idiom is a phrase that conveys a different meaning than what's found on the surface. Like how when you say you and your friend are like two peas in a pod, you're not literal peas. You're just saying that's how close you are.

Summarize the variety of ways that drones can be used, according to the article. Cite evidence in your answer.
kotegsom [21]

On a May night last year, Snitch gathered his surveillance1 team in a wild corner of South Africa. They waited until well after sunset before stealthily beginning their mission. Using a catapult2 powered by a bungee cord, the experts launched a small airplane over the deep and dark landscape, thick with acacia trees sporting 5-centimeter (2-inch) thorns.

Their robotic aircraft — or drone — is about as long as a bicycle and sports a 2.4-meter (8-foot) wingspan. In recent years, scientists have begun putting drones in the air to do many kinds of groundbreaking research. Drones carry no pilot, passengers or crew. They are often small and light. Some fly like an airplane, others like a helicopter or a blimp. Drones may fly autonomously (along a preprogrammed path) or under the control of a pilot on the ground.

3 . We were at a disadvantage ____ that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

We were at a disadvantage <em><u>in</u></em><em> </em>that that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the correct preposition to be used is "in". This is because "in" will introduce the argument or provide an explanation for the statement before the blank.

With the use of "in", the statement <em>"we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using"</em> provides an explanation for the first statement <em>"[W]e were at a disadvantage"</em>. Whereas the use of the prepositions "by", "with", and "for" are incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is "in".
