Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
The idiom "be in eclipse" means to be much less successful or less important than before.
Example: Even when her career was temporarily in eclipse she had no financial worries.
Therefore, the best answer is "Less successful" because it directly expresses the idea of reduced success or importance.
"Feeling happy" is incorrect — the idiom refers to status or prominence, not mood.
"Very successful" is incorrect — it is the opposite of the idiom's meaning.
"Being defeated" is not the best match — it implies an active loss, while the idiom more generally means reduced prominence or success.
