Back to backAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Something follows immediately after something else.
The correct meaning of the idiom "Back to back" is:
"Something follows immediately after something else."
This phrase is often used to describe events or actions that occur one right after the other without a break.
The other options are incorrect because:
• "Try to get something" is not related to the idiom's meaning.
• "Present and discuss the details of something" does not fit.
• "Do something very fast or with great energy" refers more to "do something at full speed" or "with intensity," but not specifically to something following immediately.
So, the correct answer is: "Something follows immediately after something else."
