Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. total

  • In the context of the sentence, "total" suggests that the policy encompasses or covers the entire education system, from elementary to higher education.
  • The other options, such as "average" (typical), "negative" (opposite of positive), or "positive" (favorable), do not convey the intended meaning of comprehensiveness or entirety in the same way that "total" does.

Hence, the correct option would be total.
