My supervisor seemed to be in a bad mood because he __________ when I asked if I could leave an hour early.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The blank needs an idiom meaning to respond angrily or harshly to someone.

Option 1 -> cut my voice -> not a standard English idiom; doesn't convey angry response.

Option 2 -> ate my head -> not a recognized English expression; grammatically incorrect.

Option 3 -> hit my ear off -> not a standard idiom; doesn't make logical sense.

Option 4 -> bit my head off -> means to respond very angrily or harshly to someone .


When someone bites your head off, they respond to you with unexpected anger or harshness, often over something minor. It's like a verbal attack that catches you off guard - one moment you're asking a simple question, and the next moment they're snapping at you like an angry animal.
