Answer:

All the three given sentences contains idioms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first sentence, the word “jumbo” is used to describe the size of the shrimp while in the second sentence, the word “hopped into” has been used to indicate that all of them boarded the car and in the third sentence, the word “farmed out” is used to indicate that the work has been assigned to others. Hence, we can conclude that, idioms have been used in all the three given sentences.
