Question 5 • English Language Arts 10

What are the most likely meanings of the idiom "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it"? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
We will talk about that problem if and when it happens.
B
We are probably going in the wrong direction.
C
We are not going to do that yet.
D
We need to start looking for connections.
E
We have to get things started quickly.

Explanation

The idiom means to deal with a problem only if it actually arises, rather than worrying about it in advance. “We will talk about that problem if and when it happens” expresses this directly. “We are not going to do that yet” is also a likely meaning because it suggests postponing action until the issue is relevant.
