Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

Utter failure

Options:

To be anxious about

Correct Answer:

Extreme failure

Explanation:

The correct answer is Extreme failure. The idiom "utter failure" means a complete and total failure. It is a very strong expression that is used to emphasize the extent of a failure. For example, you might say "The company's new product launch was an utter failure."

The other options are incorrect. "To be anxious about" is the meaning of the idiom "to be worried about." "Secretly" is the meaning of the idiom "under wraps." "In close vicinity" is the meaning of the idiom "in the near vicinity."
