Question

Fill in the blanks using the appropriate options.
The law prohibits a person from felling a sandalwood tree even if it grows on one's own land, without prior permission from the government. As poor people cannot deal with the government, this legal provision leads to a rip-roaring business for ___________ who care neither for the _____________ nor for the trees.

Options

• middlemen, rich

• touts, rich

• the government, poor

• touts, poor

Answer 1

touts, poor
Since the sentence has a negative tone, the word should be “touts” who do not care for the poor.
