Question

An idiom is given below, followed by three sentences or situations. Identify the sentences that correctly illustrate the meaning of the idiom.

**Idiom:** Like two peas in a pod

(i) Tim left the party immediately after John did, following in his footsteps.

(ii) As soon as the waves subsided, they both realised they were lost and stranded in the open sea.

(iii) The two employees who joined the firm at the same time can always be found hanging out together.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The idiom "like two peas in a pod" means two people who are very similar or close, often inseparable or always together.

2. Sentence (i): "Tim left the party immediately after John did, following in his footsteps." This implies Tim is copying John’s actions, which shows similarity or closeness in behavior. This fits the idiom.

3. Sentence (ii): "As soon as the waves subsided, they both realised they were lost and stranded in the open sea." This situation describes being lost together but does not imply similarity or closeness in personality or behavior, so it does not fit the idiom.

4. Sentence (iii): "The two employees who joined the firm at the same time can always be found hanging out together." This clearly shows closeness and similarity in habits, matching the idiom’s meaning.

**Answer:** Both (i) and (iii)
