Which of the following sentences expresses a similar meaning to Polly's line?
Which of the following sentences expresses a similar meaning to Polly's line?
This is correct. When Polly writes that she will "take matters into [her] own hands", she is expressing that she will take responsibility or "handle" the technical problems. The idiom "to take matters into one's own hands" means "to take charge of a problem".
This choice is incorrect. Polly is not threatening to "strangle" Bob, or use any other form of violence on him.
This expression does not indicate that Polly will contact the authorities. Polly is actually expressing that she will take steps to resolve this problem herself, without Bob's help.
This is a very literal interpretation of the idiom, which is not entirely accurate. Polly is not expressing that she herself will fix the computers, but rather that she will take responsibility for the problem, and solve it.
