Thank you for explanation. Can I say, if she rolls her sleeves up and works her tail off she will be able to hand in her paper by the deadline.

Hi,

Yes.
The use of 2 idioms in one sentence adds a touch of humour.

Then, using two idioms would have a negative effect on teachers. Thank you for advice.

Well, you won't say hallo and good morning, will you. As a student I thought I can impress the teacher in the exam by using two idioms. You know how students like to show off , but it is better to be on the safe side and use just one idiom.
