Saying your house is "neat as a pin," or that running a marathon is "a piece of cake" are examples of a. negatives. b. colloquialisms. c. positives. d. idioms.

Best guess would be D. Idioms.

Because looking at the definition of idioms. It says that Idioms existing in every language is a word or phrase NOT taken literally.
So when someone says your house is "neat as a pin" There using an idiom to compliment you on your house. And with the phrase "a piece of cake" they use an idiom to say it's "easy".

Hope this makes sense. :) If you need it explained a little further feel free to private message me.

Yeah, the answer is definitely b.assuming that you're a high school student or middle school student, you probably don't need your parents' to pick out your clothes anymore. and i don't know how it works at other schools, but i know that at my high school, you don't get to pick the book you read for an english assignment. your teacher picks that. the decision of what after-school job i should get, i would definitely make with from my parents and other people that i trust. ultimately, the decision is up to me, but i would need advice from people who are more experienced.

That is
