A dilemma is a difficult situation or problem. However, not just any ordinary situation or problem. A dilemma is specifically a difficult situation or problem in which you have to choose between two or more things/alternatives. For example, a dilemma could be... having to choose between feeding yourself or feeding your children (not really a hard option if you are a caring mom or dad, but you get the point).
I hope this helped you! Let me know if you need help with anything else! I'd be happy to help you! :)
