Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Eshwar Chandra Vidyasagar fought hard against ___________ practices which affected Indian society of his time.

The correct answer is "many evil".

Key Points

• The use of "many" is appropriate here because it indicates a large number or variety of evil practices that Vidyasagar fought against.
• Using "all" or "most" would not be accurate as it suggests that Vidyasagar fought against every single evil practice, which is unlikely.
• "More" implies a comparison, but there is no context provided for what Vidyasagar was comparing the evil practices to.
• The correct form of the sentence would be:
  • "Eshwar Chandra Vidyasagar fought hard against many evil practices that affected Indian society of his time."

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- Option 2: "all evil" suggests that Vidyasagar fought against every single evil practice, which is unlikely.
- Option 3: "most evil" implies that Vidyasagar fought against the majority of evil practices, but it is unclear if this is accurate.
- Option 4: "more evil" implies a comparison, but there is no context provided for what Vidyasagar was comparing the evil practices to.
- Option 5: There is no option 5 provided in the question.
