A recreational vehicle is a large vehicle designed for people to live and sleep in when they are traveling on the road. Many recreational vehicles today are equipped with bedding, cookware, and furniture. Therefore, they have made it possible to combine nonstop travel with a real home. They become a home as well as a base where different lifestyles find a way to go on. Simply close your eyes and imagine the free roving life on wheels. Are you itching for such a choice now? As a matter of fact, living and traveling in recreational vehicles is becoming a trend in many countries around the world. Ironically, this boom is fueled by a new coronavirus disease since a lot of people agree that one way of dealing with it is to buy a recreational vehicle. Nevertheless, even if you simply decide to become a part-time recreational vehicle traveler, there are still some issues that you have to deal cautiously with. To begin with, you should avoid biting off more than what you can chew. Do not go over budget when you purchase a recreational vehicle. Moreover, just because you can afford a new recreational vehicle, this does not mean that you have no other expenses to cover. Oil, fuel, tires, insurance, and turnpike fees will all cost you a great sum of money. You may also have to take care of various problems, such as staying alive on the highway, finding acceptable campsites, encountering mechanical breakdowns, and even putting up with rainy days and campground neighbors. If you find the above problems conquerable, you may hit the road now, either alone or with people on the same wavelength. Wish you safe miles!

What does the phrase "biting off more than what you can chew" in the passage most likely mean?

答案與詳解
D
正確答案
「biting off more than what you can chew」是英文慣用語,意指嘗試做超出自身能力的事,短文以「不要超出預算購買休旅車」具體說明此概念。

為什麼答案是 D

短文緊接在此慣用語後說「Do not go over budget when you purchase a recreational vehicle」,明確指出不要做超出自己財力(能力)的事,完全對應「嘗試做超出自身能力範圍的事」。
