Correct Answer: Free from difficulties and dangers


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The idiom out of the woods is commonly used to indicate that someone or something is no longer facing a difficult or dangerous situation.

In the context of the sentence, it suggests that even though one goal has been achieved, there is still one more goal to accomplish, and the situation is not completely free from difficulties or challenges.

Therefore, the appropriate meaning of the given idiomatic expression is, free from difficulties and dangers.
