Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → C only
To be out of the woods means to be out of danger or past the most difficult part of a situation. The idea comes from travellers who were safe only once they came out of a dark forest where they could get lost or be attacked.
Example: The patient is improving, but the doctors say he is not out of the woods yet.
