Idioms + Logical
A: When “having” is followed by a noun, it means to eat, eg “having lunch or meal or cake or banana”. A suggests that “spherical earth” is being eaten up. Moreover, it illogically suggests that “spherical Earth” is drawing on “flat sheet of paper”.
B: Illogically suggests the “problem” is of “having a flat sheet of paper”. Actually the “problem” is of drawing “the spherical Earth”.
C: Illogically suggests that the “problem” is that “how can one draw…” intending that it is possible to “draw…” but “how can one do so” is food for thought.
D: distorts the meaning and illogically suggests how to use “paper” to draw “the spherical earth”.
