Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

'A bee in one's bonnet' is an idea one keeps obsessing over, fitting the President's fixation on solar panels (A-I). 'Cut to the quick' means deeply hurt emotionally, matching Mary's grief (B-III). 'In shambles' means in a state of total disorder, describing the neglected house (C-IV). 'A storm in a teacup' is a big fuss over a trivial matter like tile colour (D-II).
