Eat like a horse

Options:

Eat a lot of food

Eat making sound

Dislike food

Eat food while running

Correct Answer:

Eat a lot of food

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "eat like a horse" is to eat a lot of food.

This idiom is often used to describe someone who eats a lot of food, especially someone who eats more than is considered normal. It is thought to have originated from the fact that horses are known to be voracious eaters. For example, you might say "He eats like a horse. He can put away a whole pizza in one sitting." This means that he eats a lot of food.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom.

  • Eat making sound: This is not an idiom.
  • Dislike food: This is the opposite of what the idiom means.
  • Eat food while running: This is not an idiom.
