Correct answer: competitive

Explanation: The word 'competitive' is an adjective that describes the nature of society today, indicating that there is a high level of competition among individuals. This fits grammatically as it modifies the noun 'society' and aligns with the context of discussing the challenges young people face in their careers.

Meaning: 'Competitive' refers to a situation where individuals or groups are vying against each other for success or resources.

Wrong options:

  • postpone: The verb 'postpone' means to delay or defer something, which does not describe the nature of society and is grammatically incorrect in this context.
  • devise: The verb 'devise' means to plan or invent something, which does not fit as it does not describe society's characteristics.
  • necessary: The adjective 'necessary' indicates something that is essential, but it does not convey the competitive nature of society and does not fit grammatically with 'society.'
  • build: The verb 'build' refers to constructing or developing something, which does not describe society and is not appropriate here.
  • succeed: The verb 'succeed' means to achieve a desired aim or result, which does not describe society and is not grammatically fitting in this context.
  • meet: The verb 'meet' means to come into contact with or satisfy, which does not describe society and is not appropriate here.
  • remind: The verb 'remind' means to cause someone to remember something, which does not relate to the description of society.
Correct answer: build

Explanation: The verb 'build' fits grammatically as it is in the base form, which is appropriate after 'to' in the infinitive form. Contextually, it relates to the action of creating or developing a career, which is essential for young people.
