Select the meaning of the given idiom.

Lose your marbles

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. go insane.

The idiom "lose your marbles" means "go insane" because it originates from the notion of losing one's mental faculties or sanity.

"Marbles" in this context metaphorically represent one's mental stability or cognitive abilities. When someone "loses their marbles," it suggests they are no longer thinking or behaving rationally, hence going insane.
