Question 1 Report

After the following sentence, a list of possible interpretations is given. Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence. 

Kola: You really worked hard to win the case. 

Didia: You don't know the half of it. This means that. 

Answer Details
The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence is "it was even more difficult than Kola could imagine." In this context, "You don't know the half of it" is an idiomatic expression used to convey that a situation is more complicated, difficult or challenging than it appears. Didia is telling Kola that the effort she put into winning the case was even greater than what he thinks or knows. Therefore, the correct interpretation of Didia's response is that winning the case was more difficult than Kola imagined.
