(D) There is no short cut against success.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(B) and (C) Only

The correct answer is Option (3) → (B) and (C) Only

• (B) People were shocked by the horrible accident that took place in broad daylight. - "By" correctly indicates the cause or agent of the shock (the accident).
• (C) She was a veteran leader who made a great contribution to the company. - "To" accurately shows the recipient or beneficiary of the contribution (the company).

The other sentences are incorrect:

• (A) There is still no cure about the common cold. - The correct preposition for this sentence is "for." "About" often suggests a topic or general information, whereas "for" indicates the specific target or purpose of the cure (the common cold).
• (D) There is no shortcut against success. - The appropriate preposition here is "to." "Against" implies opposition or conflict, which isn't the intended meaning. "To" indicates direction or the endpoint of finding a shortcut (success).
