Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The expression 'At sixes and sevens' is an idiom that means being in a state of confusion, disorder, or disarray. It is often used to describe a situation where things are not organized or are in chaos. To find the correct word, consider which option best matches the idea of confusion or lack of order. The word 'Scattered' reflects a disorganized state, making it a suitable choice. The other options do not match this meaning: 'Under control' implies order, 'Foul or fair' relates to judgment, and 'To apologise' is an action unrelated to disorder.
