In Bush, Saddam was up …… more than his match. A. for B. into C. against D. to

The correct answer is C. against.

“Up against” means “facing a difficult or challenging situation.” In this case, Saddam Hussein was facing a difficult and challenging situation in the form of George W. Bush. Bush was a powerful and determined leader, and he was determined to defeat Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein was no match for Bush, and he was eventually defeated.

The other options do not make sense in the context of the sentence. “Up for” means “eligible for” or “ready for.” “Up into” means “to a higher position or level.” “Up to” means “responsible for” or “capable of.”
