Correct Answer: walking on air
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Walking on air perfectly fits the context, expressing the elation and joy Sweety feels after winning first prize.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Walking on eggshells means being cautious, which doesn't fit the context of extreme happiness.
- Waiting in the wings means being prepared, but it doesn't convey the idea of extreme happiness.
- Walking into the lion's den describes entering a dangerous situation that is unrelated to extreme happiness.
So, the correct sentence is: Sweety has been walking on air since her painting won first prize.
