Mixed Idioms 4

Here is another grab bag of common English idioms, 11 questions with no shared theme.

You complete each sentence by filling the gap, in lines such as Harry cried ___ tears when he learned that Jane got fired. and Leah put her best foot ___ during the audition., which makes it a relaxed bit of practice.

A neat thing about these phrases is how vivid they are, since picturing crocodile tears or hanging on for dear life makes them easier to remember once you learn them.

It suits learners who already know a few idioms and want to add more.
