Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. worth.

Let's see the meanings of the given words:

  • Asset: something that is owned by a person, company, or organization, such as money, property, or land.
  • Worth: to be important or useful to have or do; having a particular value (in money); used as a way of recommending or advising.
  • Credit: a method of paying for goods or services at a later time, usually paying interest as well as the original money; praise or approval, esp. to recognize achievement.
  • Value: the amount of money that something is worth; the importance or worth of something for someone.

The phrase 'be worth something' means to be important or interesting enough to be a reason for doing something. In the current scenario, the adjective 'worth' is the correct choice in the given blank.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. worth.
