Dear Sir,
What does it mean? "end up on the ditch"? Why we don't choose the others 3 choices?

Out of town in the country, the side of the road where rain water flows is called the ditch. If the car comes off the road you and the person you're teaching to drive, in the end fall into the ditch (end up in the ditch).
