Identify the pair(s) wherein the meaning is correctly stated.
A.I only
B.III only
C.I and III✓ Correct
D.II and III
Explanation
Pair I: 'Have one foot in the grave' correctly means to be in the last stage of life, very old or close to dying. Pair II: 'Get your feet wet' actually means to begin a new experience or activity for the first time, not to establish oneself securely. So pair II is incorrect. Pair III: 'Follow suit' means to do the same as someone else has done, which aligns with conforming to another's action. Therefore, pairs I and III are correctly stated.
