Solution

'Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning different from the meaning of the words in the expression.'
The phrase "get a real kick out of" is an idiomatic expression. It means 'to get a lot of enjoyment or excitement from something'.
Option C also contains the same meaning, that the speaker gets a lot of enjoyment, reaching the school early ("before anybody else"). Hence C is correct.
Option A is incorrect because this gives the literal meaning of the idiom. Idioms are not literal in meaning.
Similarly, options B and D also contain the literal meaning of the expression 'real kick out of'.
Hence, options B and D are incorrect.

It also means that it is foolish to harm somebody who is one's benefactor. Such an action could result in future help from that person being ruled out.
The correct phrase to fill the given blank is 'that feeds you'. Hence option C is correct and the other options are incorrect.
