Correct Answer:

Disagreeing with

Explanation:

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "at loggerheads" is disagreeing with.

This idiom is used to describe two people who are in a state of disagreement or conflict. It is often used to describe a situation where the two people are so opposed to each other that they cannot agree on anything.

For example, you might say "The two friends were at loggerheads over the issue of politics." This means that the two friends were so strongly opposed to each other's political views that they could not agree on anything.

The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the meaning of the idiom.

  • In one's absence: This idiom means to do something while someone is not there.
  • At mercy: This idiom means to be completely under someone else's control.
  • To write down: This idiom means to record something in writing.
