    Solution

    The idiom a square peg in a round hole means someone who does not fit in or feels out of place in a particular situation.
    Confused means lacking understanding.
    Uncomfortable means uneasy but less specific than “out of place.”
    Excited means feeling eager or enthusiastic, which is unrelated.Hence, out of place is the most appropriate meaning.
