“Expression using the word sun”

I'm Anna Matteo with expressions using the word "sun”. The first expression is about
everything, everything under the sun. If you own a store that sold many different items, your
advertisements could say you sell everything under the sun. This would not be exactly true, of
course. But what would advertising be without some creative descriptions?
Here is another example: Let’s say you are talking with a friend you have not seen for a long
time. The two of you could have a lot of catching up to do. So, you talk about everything under
the sun.
Under the sun is an old expression – at least 3,000 years old. It means everywhere the sun
shines. King Solomon of Israel used it in the Bible. He wrote that nothing under the sun is new.
What has been will be again, he said, and what has been done will be done again.
If there is nothing new under the sun, there is nothing new anywhere. New or old, few
things can be hidden in the bright light of the sun.

a. Figurative phrase
b. Formulaic language
c. Idiomatic expression
d. Inferential expression
37. What is the meaning of the expression “anything under the sun”?
a. Nothing under the sun is new.
b. Everything that exists is possible.
c. Each friend needs catching up time.
d. All your items are advertised in the store.
38. How did the expression occur in the English language?
a. It already existed 3,000 years ago.
b. King Solomon of Israel used it in the Bible.
c. It was a common expression in describing a premonition.
d. Advertising companies usually apply creative expressions.

a. Anything can be hidden under the sun.
b. There are no new things under the sun.
6
 c. No secrets are concealed under the sun.
d. Only new things are kept under the sun.
40. Which of the sentences uses the correct expression as explained in the text?
