The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To solve the given matching problem, we need to correctly associate each part of the human anatomy with its corresponding idiomatic reference:

1.Palm5.could not tolerate the insult
2.Foot6.to look at with envy and desire
3.Eye7.to put the blame on someone else
4.Stomach8.forced to pay the bill

The associations based on common idiomatic expressions are:

  • Palm: Often associated with the action of "having someone in the palm of your hand", meaning to have control, can be linked with "to put the blame on someone else" as the notion of transferring responsibility. Thus, it matches 7.
  • Foot: Related to "footing the bill", meaning being forced to pay. Matches with 8.
  • Eye: The idiom "having eyes of envy" relates to looking at something with desire, matching 6.
  • Stomach: Commonly used in the context "can't stomach an insult", meaning unable to tolerate something. Matches with 5.

Hence, the correct matching pair is 1-7, 2-8, 3-6, 4-5.
