Question

what is the meaning of cut corners? \i know youre in a hurry, but please dont cut corners,\ said mr. gibson. to accidentally take the edges off something to take shortcuts when working to do too much and overwork oneself

Explanation:

The phrase "cut corners" is an idiom. In the given context, Mr. Gibson is telling someone not to do something hasty. Taking shortcuts when working fits this context as it implies not doing things properly (like taking a shortcut instead of following the full process) which is a common meaning of "cut corners". The first option about taking edges off something is too literal and not the idiomatic meaning. The third option about overworking is not related to the idiom's meaning.

Answer:

to take shortcuts when working
