Select the most appropriate idiomatic expression for the underlined word.
I can’t understand what you are saying because the telephone connection is bad.
Answer: C
The idiom is "make heads or tails of", which means to understand something. The sentence then reads: I can't make heads or tails of what you are saying because the telephone connection is bad. It replaces the underlined word understand and keeps the meaning.
The other options, make hands or legs of, make front or back of, and make left or right of, are not idioms in English. They imitate the pattern of the real idiom with different body or position words but have no set meaning.
