For the first week, the apprentice felt like a fish out of water.

• A. frustrated
• B. homeless
• C. disappointed
• D. uncomfortable

Answer 1

The correct option is D uncomfortable

The idiom 'a fish out of water' means being in a completely unsuitable environment or situation. Since the apprentice felt unsuited due to inexperience, Option D is the correct choice. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence, incorrect.
