Why is it important to learn idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs?

correct option: b

Idiomatic expressions are typically fixed phrases that have a meaning that is not easily understood from the individual words. For example, the idiomatic expression "kick the bucket" means to die. There is no way to figure out this meaning by simply looking at the individual words.

Phrasal verbs, on the other hand, are verb phrases that consist of a verb and a preposition. The meaning of the phrasal verb is often related to the meaning of the verb, but it can also be different. For example, the phrasal verb "look up" can mean to search for information, or it can mean to improve one's social status.
