The definition is actually provided in the test question. It means you are not able to decide

By the way, I know this idiom as "be of two minds". The first time I heard of this idiom being used with the preposition 'in' was in this test.

It may well be that "be in two minds" is mainly a British usage, and "be of two minds" is the American usage.
