Question

Choose the best option to fill the gap in the sentence :

The students were ____ when they heard that their school was forced to shut down.

• A. Up in arms
• B. Down in arms.
• C. Upside down
• D. Downgraded

Answer 1

The correct option is A Up in arms

The correct answer here is Option A) - 'Up in Arms. This is because to be 'up in arms about something' means to be angry or outraged about something; and in the context of the sentence we can see that the students are angry about the status of their school. All the other options are inappropriate.
