Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

  • The word "responsible" fits in the blank space in the sentence to convey a coherent meaning.
  • The sentence talks about there being several other factors responsible for something, meaning that these factors are accountable or in charge of the situation.
  • The options "commendable," "affluent," and "significance" do not fit in the blank space as they do not convey the intended meaning of being accountable or responsible.

Thus, the correct sentence is:

However, there can be several other factors responsible for it and these vary from person to person.
