After the sentence below, a list of possible interpretations is given. Choose the interpretation that you…

Analyze the question: The sentence uses the idiom "kill two birds with one stone." You are asked to pick the option that best explains what it means in the context of Ayo visiting his uncle.

Concept: The idiom means to accomplish two purposes or objectives with a single action or effort. The key ideas are two goals and one action.

Step-by-step solution:

1. Ayo is visiting his uncle (this is the single action).
2. Because he "intends to kill two birds with one stone," he plans for that visit to serve two purposes. For example, he may greet his uncle and also ask for help with school fees.

Checking the options:

• A. promises to bring two birds home. This is the literal meaning. It is wrong because idioms are not read literally.
• B. takes part in a double deal. "Double deal" suggests dishonesty or a deceitful arrangement (double-dealing). The idiom does not carry that sense.
• C. hopes to achieve two aims with one action. This matches the idiom exactly: two aims, one action. "Hopes" also fits "intends."
• D. intends to do two things at the same time. This is close, but it describes multitasking, meaning two separate actions done together. The idiom is about one action producing two results.

Tip: In idiom questions, reject the literal option first. Then look for the option that keeps the exact structure of the idiom. Here that structure is "two" results from "one" effort, so choose the option that says one action, two aims. Be careful with options like D that sound similar but change the meaning slightly.
