Correct Answer: Respond to someone with anger that is often sudden or unprovoked


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

This idiom is used to describe a reaction where someone responds to another person with anger, often in a sharp or abrupt manner, even if the provocation is minimal or unintentional. The imagery of biting someone's head off suggests a strong and negative reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: Respond to someone with anger that is often sudden or unprovoked.
