Research in the workplace reveals that people work for many reasons _______________ .
View worked solution
Answer: D
To choose the correct option, we need to understand the difference between the words beside and besides:
- Beside (preposition): Means "at the side of" or "next to".
Example: "She sat beside her friend." - Besides (preposition/adverb): Means "in addition to" or "apart from".
Example: "What other languages do you speak besides English?"
In the given sentence, the context refers to people working for many reasons in addition to or apart from money. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is besides, followed by the noun money.
Thus, the complete sentence is:
"Research in the workplace reveals that people work for many reasons besides money."
