Question

what are the most likely meanings of the idiom \well cross that bridge when we come to it\? select two options.
□ we need to start looking for connections.
□ we are not going to do that yet.
□ we are probably going in the wrong direction.
□ we will talk about that problem if and when it happens.
□ we have to get things started quickly.

Explanation:

The idiom "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" means dealing with a problem or situation when it actually occurs, not before.

• Option "We are not going to do that yet." implies postponing action, which aligns with the idiom's idea of not addressing something prematurely.
• Option "We will talk about that problem if and when it happens." also matches as it suggests addressing the problem only when it occurs, just like the idiom.
• "We need to start looking for connections." is irrelevant.
• "We are probably going in the wrong direction." is about direction, not the idiom's meaning.
• "We have to get things started quickly." is about urgency, not delaying action.

Answer:

B. We are not going to do that yet.
C. We will talk about that problem if and when it happens.
