Question

what does the idiom in this text suggest? cindy submitted her suggestions to samir; now the ball is in his court. samir feels like playing or relaxing, not working. samir has some difficult work to do. samir needs to act next.

Explanation:

The idiom "the ball is in his court" means that it is now Samir's turn to take action or make a decision since Cindy has already submitted her suggestions. The first option is incorrect as the idiom has nothing to do with playing/relaxing. The second option is also incorrect as the idiom doesn't imply the work is difficult, just that it's Samir's turn to act.

Answer:

Samir needs to act next.
