Wearing of high heels by women To follow something soon after the completion of previous work or act Being a close friend to someone None of these |
To follow something soon after the completion of previous work or act |
The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "being close on the heels" is to follow something soon after the completion of previous work or act. The idiom comes from the literal meaning of being close to someone's heels, which is to be very close behind them. In the same way, when someone says that they are "close on the heels of something," they are saying that they are following it very closely or that it is happening very soon after the previous event. The other options are not as accurate. Wearing of high heels by women means to wear shoes with high heels. Being a close friend to someone means to be very close to someone and to have a close relationship with them. None of these meanings are the same as "to follow something soon after the completion of previous work or act." |
