Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Admit that they lost the bet

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • admit that they lost the bet
  • bet more money on Smiley's dog
  • grab Smiley's dog and tie it up
  • try to help the other dog beat Smiley's dog

An idiom is a phrase that has a figurative, non-literal meaning. We can't conclude what this type of phrase means based on the meanings of individual words that make it up. Here, we have the idiom <em>throw up the sponge</em>. No one is literally throwing up sponges. This phrase means<em> </em><em>to give up a contest </em>or <em>to acknowledge defeat</em>.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the dogs are fighting until the people who own them admit that they lost the bet.

The correct answer is the first option - <span>The sentence is correct as written. 
The word 'dancers' is plural, which means that the verb which agrees with that subject also has to be plural. In the original sentence, the verb 'continue' is plural, which is why it is the only correct option. All other options have singular verbs and are therefore incorrect.</span>

IRISSAK [1]

If we look at the part of the sentence "when a football practice was over" we can say that it is a recurring action periodically and it represents a routine, but that's not a phrase because it is stated specifically, what is the issue. "I stopped" also suggests a concrete action, therefore, it's not a phrase, because it explicitly indicates what has been done. What is the phrase in this sentence is a cluster of words without a finite verb, and  having that in mind, the correct answer is "riding a skateboard".
