For this question, select the option that best explains the information conveyed in the question. Olu and Ado are about to come to blows.

Analyze the question: The sentence uses the idiom "to come to blows." You are asked to choose the option that best explains what this means.

Explain the concept: An idiom is a phrase whose meaning cannot be worked out from the individual words. "Come to blows" means to start fighting physically, usually after a heated quarrel or argument. A "blow" is a hit or a strike, so the phrase literally points to people exchanging hits.

Solution, step by step:

1. "About to" means that something is on the verge of happening.
2. "Come to blows" means to begin fighting physically.
3. So "Olu and Ado are about to come to blows" means they are on the verge of fighting, or hitting each other.

Now check the options:

• A. They are about to agree with each other: wrong. Agreement is the opposite of conflict.
• B. They are about to accept other people's opinion: wrong. It has nothing to do with physical conflict.
• C. They are about to hit each other: correct. It matches the meaning of the idiom.
• D. They are about to disagree with other people's: wrong. It is incomplete, and disagreeing is not the same as fighting physically.

Exam tip: In idiom questions, look for the word "blow" or "blows" and think of "hit" or "fight." Also remember related idioms such as "at daggers drawn" (bitterly hostile) and "cross swords" (argue or fight). Grouping idioms by theme makes them easier to recall in JAMB.
