Select the most appropriate meaning of the underlined idiom. It cost me an arm and a leg to study in the UK.
Answer: C
The idiom means very expensive.
'An arm and a leg' means a very high price. Studying in the UK cost a great deal.
'Very convenient', 'very affordable' and 'very difficult' are not the meaning of the idiom.
The idiom comes from the idea of paying so much that you lose parts of your body. It is used for something that costs far more than expected. The sentence says it cost this much to study in the UK, so the meaning is very expensive.
