The correct answer is Option (1) - went to the dogs

The suitable idiom to complete the sentence is:

"Our rich neighbour's fortune went to the dogs when his son spent all his money."

• "Went to the dogs" means that something has deteriorated or declined in quality, value, or condition, often due to mismanagement or carelessness. In this context, it indicates that the neighbour's fortune was wasted or ruined because of his son's reckless spending.

OTHER OPTIONS

• "Hold your horses": This means to wait or be patient; it doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
• "In the pink": This means to be in good health or condition; again, it doesn't apply here.
• "Wild goose chase": This refers to a futile pursuit or a pointless search; it does not relate to the loss of fortune in this scenario.
