Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. capacity.

Context: Here, the sentence means that everyone must work in some way, form, or role, not referring to measurement or size.

Meaning of the words:

  • Measurement: the process of finding size, length, or amount — doesn’t fit here.

  • Magnitude: refers to size or importance — contextually incorrect.

  • Volume: refers to quantity or sound — not suitable.

  • Capacity: the ability or role in which someone works or functions — fits perfectly.

Correct word: Capacity

Reason: The phrase “work in some capacity” means to work in some role, form, or ability, which matches the context perfectly.

Final Sentence:
But everyone needs to work in some capacity.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
