Comentários

• I - "Eat (one's) heart out"

  1. To feel great sadness.

  I feel just awful for Mary—she's been eating her heart out ever since she found out she was rejected by her top-choice school.

  2. To be very jealous. In this usage, the phrase is often said as an imperative and sometimes mentions a famous person (when the speaker comically claims to be more talented than that person).

  Eat your heart out—I got tickets to the concert and you didn't!

  Look at how well I dance now—Gene Kelly, eat your heart out!

  II - "Eat (one) out of house and home"

  1. To eat large quantities of one's food. This phrase is usually used hyperbolically.

  Kim may be tiny, but she has a big appetite, so don't be surprised if she eats you out of house and home.

  Gabarito: letra D.
