Question

what does \overachiever\ mean in these sentences?
when laila picked four bags of apples, her aunt joked, \youre a real overachiever! we only need one bag to make the pies.\

• a person who has many skills
• something that requires a lot of work
• something that is admired by others
• a person who does more than is expected

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "overachiever" in the sentence, we analyze the context. Laila picked four bags of apples, but only one bag was needed for the pies. This means she did more than what was expected. Let's evaluate each option:

• "a person who has many skills": The context doesn't relate to skills, so this is incorrect.
• "something that requires a lot of work": "Overachiever" refers to a person, not a thing, so this is incorrect.
• "something that is admired by others": The context is about doing more than needed, not about being admired, so this is incorrect.
• "a person who does more than is expected": This matches the context as Laila picked more apples (did more) than what was needed (expected).

Answer:

D. a person who does more than is expected (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the options have different labels, adjust the label accordingly, but the text of the option is "a person who does more than is expected")
