Question

Option 1: a spoon of her own medicine

Option 2: a taste of her own medicine

Option 3: an unpleasant medicine dose

Option 4: a dose of bitter medicine

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The blank needs an idiom meaning to experience the same unpleasant treatment one gives to others. Option 1 -> "a spoon of her own medicine" -> incorrect form; the standard idiom uses "taste," not "spoon." Option 2 -> "a taste of her own medicine" -> correct idiom meaning to experience the same poor treatment you dish out to others. Option 3 -> "an unpleasant medicine dose" -> not an established idiom; just literal description. Option 4 -> "a dose of bitter medicine" -> not the standard idiom form and misses the "own medicine" element.

When someone consistently treats others poorly and then receives the same treatment back, they're getting a taste of their own medicine. It's like karma in action - if you're always serving up rudeness to others, don't be surprised when life serves you the same bitter dish right back!
