Which
Extremely --- This question is extremely loaded. First, by asking about the "big" men, it immediately conjures all sorts of presuppositions: strong, powerful unflinching men. Then, by not giving an option, but exclusively stating that at least one of those big men is feared, the interviewee is cornered! He has been pushed into answering about something that perhaps he doesn´t feel, which is fear, but he is given no choice. I would answer something like: "First of all, I acknowledge that some people might consider these men "big", either in physical or in political stature. I, however, might differ in that qualification. And second, I am reminded of the old adage ´I fear nothing but fear itself´, so, to answer your question, I do not fear any of those men, regardless of their size!"
