Correct Answer: fall away


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

  • The phrase fall away means to become detached, which fits perfectly in the sentence.
  • Other options, like fall over, mean to lose balance; fall off means to physically drop from a high location; and fall on means something that occurs at a particular time, all of which don't fit contextually.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Her supporters began to fall away, and she was left alone."
