Which phrase signals a major quarrel or conflict?

• A. Pinagtampuhan ng langit at lupa
• B. Nabilog ang ulo
• C. Di mahulugang karayom
• D. Pagtutumbas

Answer: (A)

Figurative language often uses dramatic, cosmic images to express a big quarrel. Pinagtampuhan ng langit at lupa paints a picture of heaven and earth being angry or estranged from each other, a feud so large that it involves the whole worldscape. That exaggeration signals a major dispute or conflict, making it the best fit for the idea of a heated quarrel.

The other phrases point to different ideas: nabilog ang ulo suggests arrogance or foolish overconfidence, not a dispute; di mahulugang karayom describes a place so crowded you couldn’t squeeze in a pin, not a quarrel; pagtutumbas refers to comparing or equating things, not a clash or fight.
