From the list of idioms below, choose the best equivalent to the expression "the clock is ticking".
This is incorrect. "Time's up" or "Time is up" expresses that an activity is finished, or that no more time remains. This is not what Lawrence is saying to Horatio, who has not yet started his monologue.
This is incorrect. "Game over" expresses that an activity is finished, or that no more time remains. This is not what Lawrence is saying to Horatio, who has not yet started his monologue.
This is incorrect. The idiom "take your time" expresses that someone should "go slowly", and take all the time they need to do something. It expresses an idea opposite to Lawrence's statement "clock is ticking", which is request to "hurry up".
This is correct. "Time is running out" expresses a similar meaning to Lawrence's idiom "the clock is ticking". Both idioms indicate that "time is limited". In this case Lawrence is encouraging Horatio to get started with his monologue, as he only has 30 seconds, and he is being timed.
