To meet one's eyes 

Options:

To look at someone directly while they are looking at you 

To confess something 

To make haste 

To meet someone regularly 

Correct Answer:

To look at someone directly while they are looking at you 

Explanation:

The answer is To look at someone directly while they are looking at you.

The idiom "to meet one's eyes" means to look someone directly in the eye, especially when they are also looking at you. It is a way of showing confidence and honesty. It can also be a way of challenging someone or showing that you are not afraid of them.

The other options are not correct. To confess something is to admit to doing something wrong. To make haste is to hurry. And to meet someone regularly is to have a meeting with them on a regular basis.
