Given the context of each sentence, have I used 'tough nut to crack' correctly? Are these okay?
1. Jack is a tough nut to crack. He's humourless and a bit arrogant. Overall, I don't enjoy working with him.
2. Sara is bit of a tough nut to crack. She's not comfortable with expressing her emotions and it takes a long time for her to feel comfortable around someone and let her guard down.
3. Brooke is hard to work for. She's a tough nut to crack and can be exceedingly demanding.
4. My new girlfriend is a tough nut to crack. She's very introverted and always keeps her cards close to her chest. I wish I knew how she really feels about me.
5. To get admission, I need the approval of Dr Mason, but unfortunately she's a tough nut to crack. I would have to work really hard to convince her I deserve a chance.
