read the sentence.

the last bell of the day is music to my ears.
what is the figurative meaning of the phrase \is music to my ears\?

a. carries a ringing sound to the ears

b. creates a happy mood

c. creates new sounds

d. carries the rhythm of the bells

Explanation:

The phrase "is music to my ears" is an idiom. Literal interpretations (like A, C, D which focus on sound - related literal aspects) are incorrect. Idiomatically, it means something is pleasant or makes one feel happy. In the context of the last bell of the day (which is likely a signal for the end of school/work, a welcome event), it should create a happy mood.

Answer:

B. creates a happy mood
