Dear teachers,
Would you tell me whether I am right about my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
The lane was so narrow that a donkey with panniers could hardly have scraped its way through.
scrape through = to succeed or manage with difficulty
scrape one’s way through = force one’s way through
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
V
