Answer 1

Answer: (B)

To be in an improper order

'To be at sixes and sevens' means to be in complete disorder or to be in a state of confusion. E.g. The aftereffects of the flood had left all the tourists at sixes and sevens whether they should go or cancel their plans. Thus, option B is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
