Discussion
Replace the underlined phrases/idioms in the following sentences.
For the first week, the apprentice felt like fish out of water.
Answer: D
The phrase means uncomfortable.
To feel like a fish out of water is to feel awkward and ill at ease in unfamiliar surroundings, the way a fish is helpless on land. A new apprentice in his first week fits that picture exactly.
Frustrated and disappointed describe feelings about failure or unmet hopes, not about being in strange surroundings, and homeless takes the image too literally.
