which of the following is an idiom? pick two answers.
i needed to mail a letter.

Explanation:

Un modismo (idiom) es una expresión cuyo significado no se deduce del significado literal de sus palabras.

1. "I needed to mail a letter." es una oración literal, sin significado figurado.
2. "Feeling under the weather" es un modismo que significa sentirse enfermo, no se refiere literalmente al clima.
3. "Barking up the wrong tree" es un modismo que significa dirigirse a la persona equivocada o perseguir un objetivo erróneo, no se refiere a un perro ladrando a un árbol incorrecto.

Answer:

B. The sick child was feeling under the weather.
C. The angry customer was barking up the wrong tree.
