Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. of.

Context: The sentence is: “Universal high-quality education is the best way forward for developing and maximising our country's rich talents and resources for the good (4) ________ the individual, the society, the country and the world.”
The blank must connect “good” with the groups it benefits. The correct phrase is “for the good of…”, meaning “for the benefit of.”

Meaning of the words:

  • of – expresses belonging or relation, fits perfectly in the phrase “for the good of.”

  • for – “for the good for” would be grammatically wrong.

  • at – does not fit in this context.

  • from – also incorrect; “for the good from” is ungrammatical.

Correct word: of

Final Sentence: Universal high-quality education is the best way forward for developing and maximising our country's rich talents and resources for the good of the individual, the society, the country and the world.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
