Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Afraid of one's own shadow.
The idiom "afraid of one's own shadow" describes someone who is extremely nervous or easily frightened.
It serves as an appropriate replacement for "is so nervous" in the sentence, effectively communicating the notion of someone being excessively worried or anxious about trivial matters.
The revised sentence emphasizes the extent of the person's nervousness in a more vivid and expressive way.
