@SarahChau

sweep something under the rock?

To sweep something under the rug is an idiom:

Idiom: 'sweep under the carpet'

You don’t sweep the carpet (or rug); you lift up a corner of it and sweep dust or dirt under the carpet. You hide the dust or dirt under the carpet so that you don’t see it and can ignore it. Sweeping a problem under the carpet means ignoring it, pretending it doesn’t exist.
