Question : Select the most appropriate meaning of the highlighted idiom.
It was a Catch 22 situation for the manager.
Option 1: Worthy successor to the throne
Option 2: A difficult situation in which the solution to a problem is impossible
Option 3: Hailed as the ultimate champion
Option 4: A positive outcome in a tough situation
Correct Answer: A difficult situation in which the solution to a problem is impossible
Solution : The second option is correct.
The highlighted idiom Catch-22 refers to a paradoxical situation in which one is trapped by contradictory rules, circumstances, or conditions that make it impossible to solve a problem or take action because the conditions necessary to resolve the issue are mutually exclusive or self-defeating.
In essence, it's a no-win scenario where attempting to escape or resolve the situation only leads to further complications or challenges, which is quite similar to what is given in the second option.
