Choose the correct option to fill in the blank :

It was nothing else _________ the passion to do something great in life.

but

The correct answer is Option (2) - but

Correct sentence:
"It was nothing else but the passion to do something great in life."

• The phrase "nothing else but" is a standard expression used to emphasize that something is the only thing responsible.

• Incorrect options:
  • "than" is used for comparisons (e.g., "greater than"), which doesn’t fit here.
  • "more" doesn’t make sense in this structure.
  • "towards" is used for direction, which is incorrect in this context.
