Correct answer: B. Too advanced for the current period
- A. Impossible to apply
- B. Too advanced for the current period
- C. Completely useless
- D. Ordinary and boring
Explanation
The idiom 'ahead of its time' means that an idea, concept, or invention is so innovative or advanced that it is not understood or appreciated in the present time. In this case, the person's idea was recognized for its brilliance only after some years, indicating that it was indeed ahead of its time. The other options are incorrect as they either suggest a lack of applicability, usefulness, or innovation, which does not reflect the true meaning of the idiom.
