Question : Select the most appropriate idiom to fill in the blank and complete the meaning of the sentence.
Most of the ministers are concerned with the _________ of office than the service of man.
Option 1: leaps and bounds
Option 2: loaves and fishes

Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The idiom "loaves and fishes" refers to material gain, especially financial profit or personal advantage. In the context of the sentence, it implies that the ministers are more concerned with the material benefits or perks of their position (such as salary, power, or prestige) than with serving the people or fulfilling their duties.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: Most of the ministers are concerned with the loaves and fishes of office than the service of man.
