Answers
Explanation:
Idioms are phrases that give an indirect message which cannot be directly extracted from individual words.
Now the meanings of given idioms are;
come and go : this is used to indicate the fastness of someone
be ready to burst forth : it means that the person is full of anger and can lose his temper anytime
appeal successfully to one's reason: It means that the person agrees with someone
press heavily upon or fare ill with: It means that someone gets strong influence of other person
The correct idioms, according to the word clues are:
1. Be ready to burst forth- Full steam ahead. The clue suggests energy and power. The idiom comes from the time when steamboats were used. The greater the pressure of the steam, the faster the boat would go. Now it is used as an expression to convey energy, enthusiasm and willingness to accomplish something.
2. Appeal successfully to one's reason- Come to one's senses. The word clue suggests that someone is unable to understand the situation too well. It is almost like they are not aware or conscious of what is happening. So, the idiom is used as a wake-up call. The person needs to wake up (as if he is unconscious and needs to regain consciousness) and become logically aware of the reality.
3. Press heavily upon or fare ill with- Add fuel to fire. The word clue suggests that something has a bad effect on another thing or situation. It is like something is already burning and instead of putting the fire out, fuel is added to it to make it worse. The idiom therefore is used to convey a sense of things worsening because of the effect of another thing on an already bad situation.
