Memory trick · Prashant Sir
खुले समुद्र में न building है, न कोई निशान — पता ही नहीं चलता आप कहाँ हैं और कहाँ जाना है। इसलिए at sea = उलझन में, confused।
On the open sea there are no buildings and no landmarks, so you cannot tell where you are or where to go. That is why 'at sea' means perplexed and confused.
Exam note
बार-बार पूछा गया है: answer है — perplexed / confused; 'bewildered' सही बैठता है, जबकि 'on firm ground' उल्टा।
Asked often: the answer is 'perplexed, confused'; 'bewildered' fits, while 'on firm ground' is the opposite.
