A job seeker who likes challenges should keep his head down. This means he should ______.
Answer: D
Keeping his head down here means that he should confront challenging situations.
In general English, 'keep your head down' often means to stay out of trouble or avoid attention. In this passage it is used for a person who likes a challenge: he should 'keep his head down and go for it', meaning work steadily on the goal without being put off. Of the options, only confronting challenging situations suits this sense, because the sentence is about going for the dream job.
Walking away in anger and avoiding troublesome situations are the opposite of going for it. Bowing the head is the literal action, not the meaning. Option 3 matches the usual meaning of the idiom, which is why it tempts, but it contradicts this context.
