which of the phrases below is an example of an idiom?
○ hes as fast as lightening.
○ the wind whispered in my ear.
○ she passed that test by the skin of her teeth.
○ there are a million people in the store!

Explanation:

An idiom is a phrase with a non - literal meaning. "He's as fast as lightning" is a simile. "The wind whispered in my ear" is personification. "There are a million people in the store" is hyperbole. "She passed that test by the skin of her teeth" is an idiom as its meaning (just barely passing) is not literal from the words.

Answer:

C. She passed that test by the skin of her teeth.
