Select the meaning of the given idiom.

split one’s sides

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. be extremely amused.

The idiom "split one’s sides" means "be extremely amused" because it conveys the idea of laughing so intensely that it feels as if your sides are splitting from the force of the laughter.

This expression is used to describe a state of great amusement or laughter.

The other options, such as meeting with an accident, screaming in pain, or undergoing surgery, do not fit the idiomatic meaning related to amusement and laughter.
