Hi ExpertsGlobal5
I chose B over A as in option A, Vietnam the country seems to be compared to a situation, which is not completely logical. Option B also has incorrect idiom usage. So I believe the main deciding factor would be to choose the correct idiom usage over the most logical meaning ?

Hello Namangupta1997,
We hope this finds you well.
To answer your query, Option A uses the word "Vietnam" to figuratively refer to the Vietnam war, which can logically be compared to a "situation"; the names of places can sometimes be used as shorthand for significant events that took place, are taking place, or will take place there.
For example, "Tokyo was a great victory for the gymnast; she won two gold medals." - from context, we can tell that something that happened in Tokyo, likely some type of sporting event, was a great victory for the gymnast.
We hope this helps.
All the best!
