Correct Answer: focuses


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The correct word to fill in the blank is "focuses". This word aligns with the context of emphasising what the subject (presumably "it" refers to the educational system or process) concentrates on or centres its efforts upon.

The meanings of the other words are:

  • Regards: This word means to view or consider something in a particular way.
  • Makes: This word refers to the act of causing something to happen or creating something.
  • Changes: This word signifies altering or modifying something.

So, the complete sentence would be: "It thus focuses on the cultivation of skills, trades, or professions."
