Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

Beside oneself

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Almost out of one’s senses.

  • The idiom "beside oneself" means being agitated to the point of being almost out of one’s senses. It describes a state where one's emotions are so strong that one feels disconnected from their usual self.
  • The other options do not capture this intense emotional state; they describe different scenarios entirely, such as being in the know ("In the secret"), being consistent ("Under all conditions"), or taking responsibility for one's actions ("To stand for one’s own fault").
