The burning question is simply: How did this expression, so easily understood, become mistaken for an idiom?
To include an idiom in an example sentence, simply incorporate the idiom naturally into the sentence to convey a figurative meaning. For example, "She had a chip on her shoulder" is an idiom meaning she was easily offended or held a grudge.
The idiom "ears must be burning" is believed to originate from the superstition that if someone's ears are burning, it means someone is talking about them. This belief dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, where it was thought that the sensation of burning ears indicated that someone was gossiping about you.
I'm not sure what the answer to that question is but I'm pretty sure the answer is one because an idiom is usually a sentence for example," It's raining cats and dogs".
That phrase must be an idiom, because I can't understand what it means."It's raining cats and dogs" is an idiom for "it's raining really hard.""I am learning about idioms in English class."Timmy was the apple of my eye".This sentence is an example of an idiom.
My cousin's current favorite idiom is 'as nice as spice'.

An idiom usually is a sentence, or part of one. It certainly can be used as part of a sentence. The way to tell if it's an idiom is if it makes sense the way it's literally written.
I think it means that that person agrees with that others persons idiom and that it fit that question that the teacher or whoever asked that question.

The sentence is not, because an idiom is usually a phrase. The idiom is "do lunch," which means to have lunch together, usually while discussing business.
That IS a sentence.
"Throw the book at him" IS a sentence.
This is supposed to mean that someone is talking about you.
