James and Henry were at daggers drawn when I knew them. This means that they
-
were always angry with each other
- always wore daggers
- were good at drawing daggers
- were fighting everybody
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
The phrase 'at daggers drawn' is an idiom which means to be bitterly hostile or at enmity with someone. It does not literally mean that they always wore daggers or were good at drawing daggers or were fighting everybody. Therefore, the option 'were always angry with each other' best describes the sentence.
