Correct Answer: a dead duck


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The idiom a dead duck is used to describe something that is certain to fail or is already a failure. In the context of the sentence, it implies that the budget bill was ineffective and had no chance of success even before it was presented to the Senate.

Therefore, the appropriate idiom that fits in the given context is a dead duck.
