Which of the following sentences contains an idiom?

English
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago

The girl swore she saw a man walk up the stairs, but when she followed him he had disappeared into thin air.

Idioms are phrases, sometimes exaggerated, that are used to describe something. It doesn’t literally mean what it is describing.

The sentence contains the idiom:
“Disappeared into thin air”
Which is impossible. But it is an idiom that means the man has completely disappeared all of a sudden.

Hope this helps!

Which element of a text best helps the reader determine the central idea
pogonyaev

Answer:

Minor details, the characters, and the setting help the reader determine the central idea of the text. Minor details are little things you notice that may not seem important, but could be <em>foreshadows. </em>The characters are the people in the book. Based off of their personalities, the reader will sometimes be able to determine the central idea. Last but not least, the setting. The setting is the environment the story is mostly in(e.g stormy night, sunset, foggy town).
