Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct meaning: To try everything possible.
Explanation: The idiom "to move heaven and earth" means to do everything one can or use every possible means to make something happen.
Example: "I had to move heaven and earth to get a flight home at Christmastime."
Why the other choices are incorrect:
"To cause an earthquake" is a literal reading and does not reflect the idiomatic sense of making every possible effort.
"To pray to all gods" suggests a religious or literal action rather than exerting all efforts to achieve a goal.
"To travel in a rocket" is unrelated and takes the phrase in a literal, technological sense instead of as an idiom about effort.
