Step 1: Analyze the question The sentence "Akin is too full of himself" uses an idiom. We are asked what it really means, not what the words say literally.

Step 2: Explain the concept "Full of oneself" is an idiomatic expression meaning:

• having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities,
• being conceited, arrogant, or proud.

It has nothing to do with food, even though the word "full" might tempt you toward option B.

Step 3: Test each option

• A. Talks too much: A person who is full of himself may boast, but the idiom is about attitude (pride), not the amount of talking.
• B. Eats too much: This is the literal trap. The idiom is not about food.
• C. Is too proud: This matches the meaning of being conceited and having an inflated view of oneself.
• D. Is quite annoying: Such a person may be annoying, but that is an effect of the behaviour, not the meaning of the idiom.

Step 4: Answer The correct answer is C. is too proud.
