Options

A)
They dislike each other
B)
They like each other
C)

D)
They work independently

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The question is asking you to choose the best option that explains what is meant by the sentence "The events of last Friday show that there is no love lost between the Principal and the Vice-Principal." The sentence is saying something about the relationship between the Principal and the Vice-Principal. You need to choose the option that best explains what that relationship is like.

Option A says that they dislike each other, and this is the correct answer. This means that they do not have a good relationship and may have negative feelings towards each other.

Option B says that they like each other, but this is not correct. If they liked each other, then the sentence would not have used the phrase "no love lost."

Option C says that they cannot part company, but this is not correct either. The sentence is not saying anything about whether they can or cannot separate.

Option D says that they work independently, but this is also not correct. The sentence is talking about their relationship with each other, not how they work.

In summary, the correct option is A, which means that the Principal and Vice-Principal do not like each other. This sentence uses the phrase "no love lost" to convey this idea.
