Determine whether each sentence expresses meaning literally or figuratively. It cost her an arm and leg to replace the refrigerator when it broke. I am so hungry that I’ll probably eat three or four helpings of dinner. I easily jumped over the barrels on my horse, Skip. You are barking up the wrong tree if you’re trying to get information from me.
