Discussion
Replace the underlined word segment with the most appropriate idiom.
The girl was in a state of intense delight after achieving her goal.
Answer: C
In seventh heaven is the idiom for a state of intense delight. On pins and needles means anxious or in suspense, under the weather means slightly ill, and chilled out means relaxed, so none of these means intense joy. The idiom in seventh heaven comes from the old belief of seven heavens, the seventh being the highest; so to be in seventh heaven is to be in a state of the highest joy. The other idioms in the options have different meanings; on pins and needles is nervous waiting, and under the weather is mildly ill, so only one idiom matches intense delight.
