There's no point being confused. I failed it too on the assumption that it means sth negative since it's an unfamiliar idiom. But we must know that the meanings of idiomatic expressions are judged not by the surrounding words. (To) be home and dry is an idiom which means: to have done sth successfully, especially when it was difficult. So myschool is here correct with the B option.
Nobody should be confused,check your dictionary.Having safely reached one's target.
'home and dry' is it an idiom expression because it is really confusing
they where home and dry means that they had nothing to account for after the election, they didnt secure enough votes to win the election
