Solution
The correct option is C butterflies
'Idiomatic expressions are a
type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning
of the words in the expression.'
Option C: From the options, 'butterflies' forms an idiomatic expression 'butterflies in my stomach'. It means 'to be anxious and have a nervous feeling in your stomach'. It relates to the
sentence, which is about a speech. Due to stage fright people sometimes feel nervous before a public speech or performance.
Hence C is the correct option.The
other words 'squirrels', 'mosquitoes' and 'elephants' each do not form an idiomatic
expression. They all form literal meanings in the sentence, meanings
which are not quite relevant, or even possible. Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
