Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.

At random

The correct answer is 'In a hap-hazard manner'.

Key Points

• The phrase 'at random' means without a definite aim, purpose, or pattern. This can be best described as doing things in a haphazard manner, without any specific plan or order.
• Hence, the correct answer will be Option 3.
• Option 1 (At a distance) is incorrect because it does not convey the meaning of lack of order or planning.
• Option 2 (In total confusion) could be considered as a possible meaning, but it is not as accurate as 'In a hap-hazard manner' because 'at random' does not necessarily imply confusion.
• Option 4 (At the last moment) is incorrect because it suggests a timing element that is not present in the meaning of 'at random'."
