Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks: If you plant hard work, you will reap ---.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The sentence uses an agricultural metaphor (planting and reaping) to describe a life principle:
Planting: Represents the effort or "seed" you put in (Hard Work).
Reaping: Represents the result or "harvest" you get back (Success).
Failure (B) and Time pass (C) are negative or neutral results.
While Knowledge (D) can be a result of hard work, Success is the most standard and appropriate completion for this specific idiomatic comparison.
