While travelling on the highway my car had a flat tyre; to_________, it started to rain and I got drenched.

Solution

Share

"To make matters worse" = the idiomatic way to introduce an additional misfortune (the flat tyre is then compounded by rain).

Why other options fail:

  • "add to my complexities" — implies intellectual complication; rain doesn't complicate, it just worsens.
  • "perplex me further" = confuse; rain doesn't confuse anyone.
  • "befuddle me" = also means confuse; same issue.

Option 4: make matters worse.
