Which phrase completes: Sport is a natural religion based on these qualities and characteristics?

• A. All the answers
• B. All
• C. Primary
• D. Play

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is choosing an option that signals every listed quality matters. When a sentence refers to “these qualities and characteristics,” the completion should show that all of the mentioned traits are part of sport’s nature. “All the answers” does that explicitly, tying back to each quality and indicating that every listed element fits together to define sport.

Using just “Play” would highlight only one aspect, leaving the others out. “Primary” is vague and doesn’t clearly connect to all the listed qualities. “All” by itself doesn’t form a natural, grammatically smooth completion after “characteristics.” So the inclusive phrase is the clearest, most accurate fit.
