Question

Choose the correct meaning of idiom:

At sea

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Feeling confused or perplexed

The idiom "at sea" means to be confused, bewildered or unsure of what to do, as a person lost on the open ocean with no landmarks would feel.

"Experiencing luck" is wrong; it has no connection to the idiom's sense of confusion.

"Travelling abroad" is wrong because it takes "sea" literally as a voyage rather than as a figure of speech.

"Gaining sudden wealth" is wrong; that notion is unrelated to the idiom.

Hence, the correct meaning is feeling confused or perplexed.
