Question 44

Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of the underlined phrase in the following sentence.
The officer was in the soup when there was a raid in his office.

Solution

The underlined phrase "in the soup" is an idiomatic expression meaning to be in a difficult or troublesome situation. In the sentence,the context of a raid suggests the officer faced problems or consequences.

Among the options:

Sleeping and collecting money do not convey a problematic situation.

Angry suggests an emotion, not necessarily trouble.

In trouble directly aligns with the meaning of being in a difficult or problematic situation implied by "in the soup." Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
