Correct Answer: To separate the valuable from the worthless.
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
This idiom originates from the process of winnowing, where wheat is separated from chaff (the husks or outer coverings of seeds) using air currents. In a metaphorical sense, it is used to express the act of discerning or identifying what is valuable or essential from what is not.
Therefore, the correct answer is to separate the valuable from the worthless.
