Question

Choose the appropriate meaning of the idiom/phrase "Caught between two stools."

• A. met with an accident
• B. difficulty in choosing between two alternatives
• C. struck in a calamity
• D. doing two things at a time

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

"Caught between two stools" means being in a situation where you are forced to choose between two options, but both are difficult or unappealing. 
- "Met with an accident" refers to being involved in a mishap, which is unrelated to the idiom. 
- "Difficulty in choosing between two alternatives" is the correct meaning of the idiom. 
- "Struck in a calamity" and "doing two things at a time" do not match the meaning of this idiom. 
When caught between two stools, you face a dilemma where neither option seems ideal.
