Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Eshwar Chandra Vidyasagar fought hard against ________ practices which affected Indian society of his time.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. many evil.
The option 'many evil' fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence.
It indicates that Eshwar Chandra Vidyasagar fought against multiple evil practices that affected Indian society during his time.
Other options imply :
all evil - This implies that Vidyasagar fought against every single evil practice without exception.
most evil - "Most evil" emphasizes severity and importance, but it could imply that Vidyasagar did not address less severe but still significant issues. This might narrow the scope of his reform efforts compared to "many evil."
more evil - This option suggests a comparative degree of evil but lacks context. It would typically require comparison to something else, like "more evil than X."
