Where the shoe pinches
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Where the difficulty lies.
The idiom "Where the shoe pinches" refers to the specific point or aspect of a situation that causes difficulty or discomfort. It highlights the underlying problem or trouble in a given context.
"Unknown paths" and "Difficult roads" are metaphorical but don't capture the precise meaning of identifying the source of trouble.
"Where the shoe hurts" is literal and does not convey the idiomatic meaning.
Thus, "Where the difficulty lies" is the most appropriate interpretation.
