Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. what.
Certainly! In this context, the sentence discusses the belief of the people that only the government has the authority to make decisions about what is best in matters such as war.
The phrase "what is best" refers to the optimal course of action or decision.
The people seem to trust that the government, being in a position of authority and having access to information and resources, is better equipped to determine the most appropriate course of action in such situations.
The most appropriate option to fill in blank number 2 is: what is best
So the sentence would be: "The government knows what to do and only the government can decide what is best."
