Question

which choice is an example of an idiom?

b. the clouds were a fluffy blanket that sheltered us from the midday heat
c. the wind howled and screeched, looking for a way to get inside
d. i knew i would never see another sunset this beautifal in a million years

Answer 1

The correct choice that is an example of an idiom is:

**a. when i looked out the window, i saw it was raining cats and dogs.**

This phrase is an idiom because it uses figurative language to describe heavy rain, rather than literally meaning that cats and dogs are falling from the sky.
