Armed to the teeth

Options:

Fully armed, having many weapons

Different attacking techniques

Safeguard oneself in every possible way

To have no weapon to fight

Correct Answer:

Fully armed, having many weapons

Explanation:

The idiom "armed to the teeth" means fully armed, having many weapons.

The idiom comes from the idea that a person who is armed to the teeth is prepared for anything and is not afraid to fight. The idiom is often used to describe someone who is very prepared for a conflict or a difficult situation.

The other options are not correct.

  • Different attacking techniques: This is not the same as armed to the teeth. Armed to the teeth means having many weapons, not different attacking techniques.
  • Safeguard oneself in every possible way: This is not the same as armed to the teeth. Armed to the teeth means being prepared for anything, not just taking precautions.
  • To have no weapon to fight: This is the opposite of armed to the teeth. Armed to the teeth means being fully armed, not having no weapons.
