Which of the following best fits in the blank?
Flu 2018 panic is in full swing, and with very good reason. Already termed “moderately severe” by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), indications are that this flu season will only get worse, and the flu has claimed the lives of at least 30 children (and many adults) so far. Meanwhile, a new study from the University of Maryland suggests that the flu virus may not require a sneeze or cough to become airborne; it may spread simply through breathing. You already know to get the flu shot (and it’s still worth getting), wash your hands copiously, and ____________________ if you’re sick so your flu is not contagious to others. Now, concerned folks are taking prevention a step further, donning surgical masks―both to avoid getting the flu and to prevent the spread of the flu they already have.

beat around the bush

keep a low profile

hear it on the grapevine

cost an arm and a leg

빈칸에는 “keep a low profile”(눈에 띄지 않게 조용히 지내다)이 알맞다.
빈칸은 “if you’re sick so your flu is not contagious to others”(아플 때 남에게 옮기지 않도록)와 이어지므로, 사람들과의 접촉을 피한다는 뜻의 표현이 와야 한다.
“fly off the handle”(버럭 화를 내다)은 독감 예방과 관계가 없다.
“beat around the bush”(말을 돌려서 하다)는 전염 방지와 무관하다.
“hear it on the grapevine”(소문으로 듣다)도 아플 때의 행동으로 맞지 않다.
“cost an arm and a leg”(큰돈이 들다)는 사람을 주어로 쓰는 행동이 아니고 문맥과도 무관하다.
