Question:

By resigning publicly before the inquiry concluded, he had burned his bridges with the administration. "To burn one's bridges" means:

1.
to destroy any possibility of returning to a previous position or relationship
2.
to commit arson during a protest
3.
to work through the night to meet a deadline
4.
to waste public resources carelessly

Correct Answer: to destroy any possibility of returning to a previous position or relationship

"To burn one's bridges" means to act in a way that makes retreat or reconciliation impossible. The literal fire-reading of (b) is the trap.
