16. She needed money badly. So she had a garage sale in which she sold a lot of her things dirt cheap.

17. John is always willing to give advice and his advice is usually valuable. He is a fountain of knowledge.

18. The company is going downhill rapidly. It needs to produce and sell more and better products.

19. Sally usually gets good grades, but she didn’t do well on the last test. Now she’s very worried. I think she’s making a mountain out of a molehill.

20. Kate is so busy that she sees her brother Kevin only once in a blue moon.

21. The ice cream at that store is out of this world. I’d walk a mile to buy some.
