Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: About.
Explanation: The verb phrase 'bring about' means 'to cause' or 'to produce'. The sentence therefore correctly reads: "If you can't play a part in bringing about a change, at least do not deter those who are trying to."
'On' (bring on): can mean to cause something, often an unpleasant event, but is not the natural choice with 'a change' here.
'In' (bring in): usually means to introduce or implement, which is different from the general sense of 'cause' conveyed by 'bring about'.
'Up' (bring up): means to raise a topic or mention something, not to cause a change.
Therefore, 'About' is the best choice because 'bring about a change' is the standard collocation meaning 'cause a change'.
