Multiple choice

What is correct?

He will fall for the trick, ... he is.

1. as idiot as

2. as idiot

3. idiot like

4. thus idiot

I think that the third option is correct.

Thank you in advance.

None of the answers will give a correct sentence. The only thing I can suggest is that you add a fifth choice "idiot that" and select that. Thus the final sentence is:
