Answer 1

The correct answer is "hard than I thought."

Key Points

The correct phrase is "harder than I thought," with the comparative form of the adjective "hard."
The error is that "hard" is used as an adverb instead of the comparative form "harder."
The correct sentence would be:
- "Hearing those words from his mouth was harder than I thought."

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
