{'seventh heaven': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'idioms': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'wonders': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'appropriate expression': [0, 0, 0, 5], 'alternative meanings': [0, 0, 0, 5], 'phrases': [0, 0, 0, 6], 'place': [13, 5, 3, 13], 'air': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'world': [24, 6, 12, 21]}

The correct answer for the given question is option 2: To be extremely happy. The phrase "to be in seventh heaven" is an idiomatic expression that means to experience great joy or happiness. It suggests a state of extreme bliss or contentment.

Option 1, "to fly in the air," does not accurately convey the meaning of the phrase. While being in seventh heaven may evoke a feeling of lightness or being on cloud nine, it does not imply literal flight.

Option 3, "to be completely alone," does not align with the intended meaning of the phrase. Being in seventh heaven refers to a state of happiness or euphoria, not isolation.

Option 4, "to visit a place which is in the list of the seven wonders of the world," is unrelated to the idiom. Being in seventh heaven is not connected to visiting famous landmarks or places.

It is important to understand idiomatic expressions as their meaning is not always directly derived from the individual words used. In this case, being in seventh heaven describes a state of extreme happiness.
