Options
- AIt is not worthy
- Bthe company's reputation
- Cto compromise on quality
- Dfor the sake of profit
Correct answer
A. It is not worthy
Step-by-step solution
In option A, 'worthy' must be replaced with 'worth' to make the sentence grammatically correct. If something is worth a particular action, or if an action is worth doing, it is considered to be important enough for that action. Ex. I am spending a lot of money and time on this boat, but it is worth it. Ex. This restaurant is well worth a visit. Ex. It is worth pausing to consider these statements from Mr Davies. Hence, option A is correct.
