Britney ________when she topped her high school exams.

  1. skipped a boat

  2. skipped a beat

  3. skimped a boat

  4. skimped a beat
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

To skip a beat refers to a moment of excited, suspended emotion when your heart seems to pause - often from surprise, joy, or shock. Option B correctly completes the sentence - topping exams would cause this reaction. The other options use incorrect words (skimped, skipped a boat) that don't form this idiom.
