Idioms are a group of words whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal definition of the individual words. They are unique to each language and culture, and often reflect the history, values, and beliefs of the people who use them. This makes them difficult to translate accurately into other languages. Translating idioms word-for-word can lead to confusion and misinterpretation, as the figurative meaning of the idiom may not be clear. This is why many test takers struggle to understand idiomatic expressions and therefore pick wrong answers and end-up with lower then ideal scores.
