Question

select the correct answer.
which idiomatic expression correctly completes this sentence?
pour lanniversaire de sa femme, paul a acheté un beau cadeau ________.
a. a mal du pays
b. à prix dor
c. à deux heures sonnantes
d. à pied

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "a mal du pays" means "homesick", which doesn't fit the context of buying a gift.
• Option B: "à prix d'or" means "at a high price" or "very expensively", which makes sense for buying a nice gift for a wife's anniversary.
• Option C: "à deux heures sonnantes" means "around two o'clock", which is a time reference and not related to buying a gift.
• Option D: "à pied" means "on foot", which is about the mode of transportation and not relevant here.

Answer:

B. à prix d'or
