I encountered this question before. The underlined idiom was "SHE PUT HER NOSE TO THE FIRE". This question also had choices. These were:
<span>She was cold as she wrote her speech, so she sat by the fire.
She worked hard to finish her speech for the assembly.
She was proud of the speech once she finished it.
She finished the speech in a very short amount of time.
The underlined idiom tells the reader that SHE FINISHED THE SPEECH IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

This excerpt is part of the short story "Two Kinds", by Amy Tan. The main character, June, is expected to become a prodigy child by her mother, Suyuan. Her mother quizzes her on different subjects and demands that she take piano lessons.
At a certain point, June begins to defy her mother's wishes. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, for instance, she decides to show how bored and uninterested she is with the intention of making her mother give up on her. June is fighting - as much as she can as a child - for own independence. She believes she can change her mother's feelings and behavior if she performs badly at the tasks she is given.
