Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. cool as a cucumber.
The idiom "cool as a cucumber" is the most appropriate replacement for the underlined part of the sentence. While "cool as ice" conveys a sense of remaining calm and composed under pressure, "cool as a cucumber" more accurately captures this sentiment.
Therefore, "cool as a cucumber" better conveys the intended meaning of remaining composed and confident during an important meeting.
