"blame the scapegoat" isnt an idiom. And why doesn't "cat" work in the singular? other than that, good quiz

going could be followed by "postal," "haywire," "nuts," etc. I'd delete it, since there are so many wrong answers. I don't know "flip the script," but I have heard "follow the script."

"____ until the cows come home" is the same way. The blank could be anything that anyone is doing for a long time.

i took off going bananas but i think many people should be able to get "talk until the cows come home". Thank you for the feedback.
