Options:
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer:
B
Explanation:
The correct answer is OPTION 2 - B (Error in "hardly-won")
"Hardly-won" is incorrect because "hardly" means "barely" or "almost not," which does not fit the intended meaning.
The correct phrase should be "hard-won," which means "achieved with great difficulty."
It is the duty of every citizen to do his utmost to protect the hard-won respect of the country.
