Correct Answer: a greenhorn


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The sentence suggests finding an idiom that expresses a lack of experience. "A greenhorn" is an appropriate idiom for someone who is inexperienced or new in a particular industry or field.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • In great hands: This idiom suggests being in a capable or trustworthy situation.
  • A sore thumb: This idiom refers to someone or something that is very noticeable or stands out conspicuously.
  • Hang fire: This idiom means to delay or postpone a decision.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Piyush is a greenhorn in the leather industry."
