1). To fish in troubled waters - To get benefit in a bad situation.
2). High and Dry - Isolated
3). Painted the town red - To celebrate noisily in public places
Explanation:
- Idiomatic phrases convey a meaning distinct from the literal meaning of the words and help elevate the language.
- The phrase 'To fish in troubled water' stands for 'taking advantage from a chaotic situation' which in the sentence implies that a fair-weather friend attempts to take benefit out of a difficult situation.
- While the next phrase 'high and dry' means 'abandoned, stranded, or helpless' and in the sentence, it denotes that his aggressive behavior has isolated him from everyone.
- The last phrase 'paint the town red' suggests 'to party or celebrate rowdy in a public place' and in the sentence, it shows that the colony people celebrated the festival with great pomp and show.
