Question

Winston Churchill once said: ``In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.`` Churchill is known for his witty quotes, and this one tells me he knew how to move on quickly from a social gaffe. If he can move on from a conversation ``oops`` the rest of us can learn to do it gracefully as well. Thomas Neiel once said: ``Of those who say nothing, few are silent``. Have you ever spent time with someone who just blabbed on and after you sat and listened to them, you wondered what on earth they were even talking about? That`s what this quote applies to. I picture this advice coming in very handy with cocktail parties and small talk. If you can focus on one or two you`d just talked randomly with many different people. One word that describes the situations in the quotes is gaffe.

Among the expressions below, the one that also describes the quotes is:
a) To put your tongue in it.
b) To put your head in it.
c) To put your foot in it.
d) To put your hand in it.

Answer 1

Bom dia,

O texto fala sobre manter o silencio em certas ocasiões pode ser melhor que falar, como por exemplo nestes trechos do texto:

Winston Churchill once said: ``In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.``

Have you ever spent time with someone who just blabbed on and after you sat and listened to them, you wondered what on earth they were even talking about?

Logo a resposta será:

A) a) To put your tongue in it.
