Could do me a big favor?
I have a question about meaning of expressions.



The question is,

Which one is the right set of words that have the closest meaning?



1. I've had enough � You are going too far

2. I'm fed up with you � Stop complaining

3. I can't take it � Beats me

4. Think about it again � Beats me



I think only No. 1 is right, but someone says 'I've had enough' and 'You are going too far' have the same functional meaning but don't have the same descriptive ones.



On the other hand, she says No. 2. is also correct answer for the same reason.



Is what she says right?
It makes me so confused so I need your help!

Only #1, I think. In #2, one can easily be fed up with another without any complaints being involved.
