22 hrs confidence: | A drowning man will clutch at a straw
Explanation:
bence burada ihtiyacı olan bir insanın ümidinin artması suya düşenin yılana sarılması anlatılıyor
A piece of straw would not help to keep a drowning person afloat, but - if you are drowning - you would grab at anything, however hopeless, in your efforts to stay alive.YANİ SERAPTA SU İHTİYACINI KARŞILAMAYACAK AMA ÜMİT FAKİRİN EKMEĞİ
The expression means that when in trouble, a person will take any chances available to get out of trouble - even 'chances' with no hope of success.
