Choose the best interpretation of this sentence : "The journalist got tangled up in his argument."

  • A.The journalist avoided controversial topics.
  • B.The journalist was praised for his bravery.
  • C.The journalist got confused in his arguments.
  • D.The journalist found the topic ridiculous.

Answer: C

The sentence means the journalist got confused in his arguments.

To get tangled up in something is to become caught in it, like a thread in a knot. Said of an argument, it means the person became muddled in his own reasoning and could not get his points straight.

The other options say something the sentence does not. Nothing in it is about avoiding controversial topics, being praised for bravery, or finding the topic ridiculous; it describes confusion, not avoidance, praise or contempt.
