Dear teachers,
Please read the following sentence:
It was jumping and snapping at the snake so as to make it strike and throw itself off guard.
Since the phrase "off guard" means "unprepared" the sentence could be rewritten the following way:
It was jumping and snapping at the snake so as to make it strike and unprepared. Is that right?
But I don't understand the meaning of "unprepared" here. Could you please explain that?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
