Question

we bit off more than we could chew with this project. if we are ever going to finish on time, we must ______. options: hear it through the grapevine, get the ball rolling, take the cake

Explanation:

• "hear it through the grapevine" means to hear rumors or gossip, which doesn't fit the context of finishing a project on time.
• "get the ball rolling" means to start taking action, which makes sense as the project is behind and needs to start progressing to finish on time.
• "take the cake" means to be the best or most extreme, which is irrelevant to the project completion context.

Answer:

B. get the ball rolling
