In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which is the best substitute of the phrase. After a long day, all Rita wanted to do was hit the sack. Correct Answer Sleep

Hitting the sack implies the act of taking a nap or going to sleep. Usually used to indicate the end of a day, the idiom originates from ancient ages when people used sacks of hay to sleep and hit them before sleeping to make them more comfortable. Thus, the sentence refers to beds as sacks and the act of hitting the sack refers to the act of sleeping on the bed.

Let us find the meaning of the following words :-

Slacken - reduce or decrease in speed or intensity.

Sleep - take a nap.

Drive - set a vehicle in motion.

Resign - voluntarily leave a job or office.

Clearly, option 2 i.e. sleep is the correct answer.
