Question

Read the paragraph.

“That should do it!” said Dad. “I found the problem with the motor and fixed it. I haven’t worked on cars for a while, but I think my mechanical skills are still sharp. Cross your fingers, David, and let’s start her up!”

Which answer best replaces Cross your fingers, and conveys the same meaning?


Wish me luck,

Take your time,

Hop on in,

Give me a minute,

Answer 1

Answer: Wish me luck

Explanation: Cross your fingers is usually used to wish luck and if you want something to happen you cross your fingers. In this case, Dad is hoping that the car is fixed so he tells David to wish him luck. If you try replacing wish me luck with cross your fingers, the sentence will make sense. If you try replacing it with the other words, it wouldn't make sense.

Hope that helped and have a great day! :)
