Select the correct idiom to substitute the underlined segment in the following sentence.
I thought that the task would be difficult but it was very easy.
Answer: C
The idiom is "a piece of cake", which means something very easy. The sentence reads: I thought that the task would be difficult but it was a piece of cake, which matches the underlined words very easy.
"A shot of ice-cream" is not an English idiom. "An olive branch" is a gesture of peace or reconciliation, and "a dead letter" is a rule or law that is no longer enforced or a letter that cannot be delivered. Neither means easy, so only "a piece of cake" suits the sentence.
