Susie writes: "We have finally sealed the deal for Miss Ivana Bümbüm's services!". Which of the following phrases expresses the meaning of the idiom "to seal the deal"?
This is not the meaning of this idiom. Susie did not keep anything secret.
Susie has not "cancelled" her negotiations. In fact, she has finished them.
This phrase would be more appropriate in a legal context or in a Sherlock Holmes novel. Susie did not "solve a case" or a mystery, she merely signed a contract.
This is the best choice here. "To seal the deal" means to bring the negotiations to a close, to sign a contract, or reach an agreement.
