Exercise 1

Donna tells Bethany Just spit it out.

What is Donna telling Bethany?

To be honest with her.

This is an incorrect choice. The expression "to spit it out" does not refer to being honest.

Not to talk with her mouth full.

This is an incorrect choice. To talk with one's mouth full is to talk when your mouth is full of food. The expression "to spit it out" is not synonymous with "to talk with one's mouth full".

To get to the point of the conversation.

This is the correct choice. To "spit it out" refers to getting straight to the point or saying something without delay or hesitation. In the imperative voice, the expression "(just) spit it out" is a command for someone to speak plainly or without delay. Note that this expression is very informal. Donna is telling Bethany to get straight to the point (and tell her the big news). Literally, the verb "to spit" describes the act of ejecting saliva from the mouth!

To speak louder.

This is an incorrect choice. The expression "to spit it out" is unrelated to the volume of one's voice'
