Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Apple pie order.
The idiom "apple pie order" means that something is in perfect or meticulous order. It’s used to describe a situation where everything is neatly arranged and well-organized.
The other option means:
Apple of discord: Refers to a subject of disagreement or conflict, not order.
Alley Apple: This is not a recognized idiom in this context.
Apple of one's eye: Refers to someone or something that is cherished or beloved, not related to order.
Thus, "apple pie order" is the appropriate choice to convey that everything was arranged in perfect order.
