Discussion
Select the most appropriate idiom for the highlighted words in the given sentence. She wants to get this award by any means.
Answer: C
The idiom is By hook or by crook.
It means by any means, fair or foul. 'At sixes and sevens' means in confusion, 'again and again' means repeatedly and 'by fits and starts' means in irregular bursts.
So only 'by hook or by crook' matches 'by any means'.
The phrase 'by hook or by crook' means in whatever way is necessary, whether honest or not. The highlighted words 'by any means' have the same sense. 'At sixes and sevens' means in disorder and 'by fits and starts' means not continuously.
