Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom. Up a creek without a paddle

  • A.To take revenge
  • B.To wish for something good to happen
  • C.To be in an unlucky/bad situation
  • D.To work hard to achieve success

Answer: C

'Up a creek without a paddle' means to be in an unlucky or bad situation with no means of getting out of it, just as a person in a boat on a creek with no paddle is stuck. It does not mean taking revenge, wishing for something good, or working hard to achieve success, so only the third option is correct. The idiom pictures a person on a creek who has lost the paddle, so there is no way to steer or return.
