Answer 1

Hello folk!!!

I tried to cook according to the instructions in the recipe book but it's all gone wrong .

Answer 2

I tried to “cook according to the instructions” in the recipe book but it’s “all Greek to me”. In the sentence, all Greek to me is an idiom which means completely unintelligible. So, the option 3 - completely unintelligible is right.

Though Greek is a language, here it doesn’t mean about that language or country. It means all gone wrong neither. The idiom means that it does not understandable. Slowly it transferred to completely unintelligible.
