Explanation:

The best alternative which expresses the meaning of the idiom "apropos of nothing" is having no relevance to any previous discussion or situation.

The idiom "apropos of nothing" is used to describe something that is said or done that is not related to anything that has been said or done before. It is often used to describe something that is said or done by someone who is trying to be funny or clever, but who is actually being irrelevant or disruptive.

The other alternatives are not correct.

  • Any difficult situation or obstacle: This is not the same as apropos of nothing.
  • To be enraged: This is not the same as apropos of nothing.
  • Almost everything and anything has been included: This is not the same as apropos of nothing.
