Boil the ocean

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Try to do something impossible.

  • "Boil the ocean" means to attempt to do something that is impossible or impractical due to its magnitude or complexity.
  • It implies undertaking a task that is far beyond one's capacity or resources, similar to attempting to boil the entire ocean, which is obviously not feasible.
