I feel terribly tired working in the office till the evening and should hit the sack early today.

Options:

wind up my work

go out of my office

go home early

go to bed

Correct Answer:

go to bed

Explanation:

The correct answer is > go to bed.

The idiom hit the sack means to go to bed. It is a slang term that is often used in informal contexts. In the sentence, the speaker is saying that they are feeling very tired and that they need to go to bed early. This is why the idiom hit the sack is used in this context.

The other options are incorrect.

  • Wind up my work is not correct because the idiom hit the sack does not refer to work.
  • Go out of my office is not correct because the idiom hit the sack does not refer to leaving the office.
  • Go home early is not correct because the idiom hit the sack does not specifically refer to going home early.
