Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the word or phrase underlined.

His persistently poor performance is already driving his parents round the bend.

Answer Details
The phrase "driving someone round the bend" is an idiomatic expression that means to cause frustration or distress. While "mad" (option B) might seem like a close option, "causing his parents some problems" is the most accurate choice in this context, as it suggests that the poor performance is creating difficulty for the parents.
