Solution
The correct option is A rack
'Idiomatic expressions are a
type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning
of the words in the expression.'
Option A: From the options, 'rack' forms an idiomatic expression 'rack my brains'. It means 'to struggle to recall or think of something'. It relates to the
given sentence "Choosing a gift for Tara is difficult. I have to...for a good one".
Hence A is the correct option.The
other words 'crack', 'pull' and 'brain' each do not form an idiomatic
expression. They all form literal meanings in the sentence, meanings
which are not quite relevant, nor possible. Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
