Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 English II CREDIT RECOVERY

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 have to get things started quickly.
C
We need to start looking for connections.
D
We are not going to do that yet.
E
We are probably going in the wrong direction.

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.
