He was carried off his feet when he was declared to have won the prize. A. became delirious B. danced on his toes C. was dizzy D. was wild with excitement

The correct answer is D.

The phrase “carried off his feet” is an idiom that means to be so excited or happy that you lose control of your emotions. In this case, the man was so excited to have won the prize that he started to dance and jump around.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the man’s reaction. Option A, “became delirious,” means to be so excited or happy that you lose your sense of reality. Option B, “danced on his toes,” is a literal description of the man’s actions, but it does not capture the emotional intensity of his reaction. Option C, “was dizzy,” means to feel lightheaded or unsteady. This is not an accurate description of the man’s reaction, as he was not feeling physically ill.
