From the following options, identify the underlined phrase in the given sentence:
It seems as if the designer store has made this bag for someone like me who likes to carry around everything but the kitchen sink.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → unnecessary luggage
The idiom everything but the kitchen sink means far more things than are needed; it is a humorous way of saying that someone takes almost everything they own, including things they will not use. The bag suits a person who carries around a load of things that are not needed, that is, unnecessary luggage.
Example: For a two-day trip she packed everything but the kitchen sink.
