interpretations are given. choose the interpretation that is most appropriate People who tells lies makes me see red. This means that such people make me

Analyze the question: The sentence uses an idiom, "see red". You are asked to choose the meaning that fits best.

Explain the concept: An idiom is an expression whose meaning is different from the literal meaning of its words. "See red" does not mean you literally see the colour red. It means to become very angry. Red is commonly linked with anger and danger, as in "red-faced with rage" or "a red flag".

Solution:

• Literal reading: "People who tell lies make me see the colour red." This makes no sense.
• Idiomatic reading: "People who tell lies make me very angry." This fits well, because liars naturally provoke anger.

Checking the options:

• A. dizzy: this has nothing to do with the idiom.
• B. angry: this is the correct meaning of "see red".
• C. sad: this would be an idiom like "feel blue".
• D. anxious: this would be an idiom like "on edge" or "butterflies in the stomach".

(A small note on grammar: the sentence should read "People who tell lies make me see red", because the subject "people" is plural. This does not change the answer.)

Tip: In idiom questions, colours often show emotions:

• see red = angry
• feel blue = sad
• green with envy = jealous
• yellow-livered = cowardly
