Fill in the blanks with the word or phrase that completes the idiom correctly in the given sentences.
The bigger they come, _______ they fall, or so it is said.
Explanation:
Using the adverb 'great' to describe a fall would make the sentence illogical. Option 1 can be eliminated on that basis. An apt adverb to describe a “fall” from among the given options would be option 2 'hard', as it describes the impact of the fall. Options 3 and 4 can be eliminated on the basis that an adverb/adjective of the comparative degree is required to maintain parallelism in the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
