Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. sitting on the fence.
- "Sitting on the fence" is the most appropriate idiom because it means being undecided or not making a clear choice, which matches the context of someone struggling to select the right course of study.
- The other idioms—like "beating around the bush," "knocking around," and "on a fool's errand"—do not convey the same sense of indecision.
