Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation: The conjunction but introduces a contrast with what was stated earlier.
The part that fills the blank must therefore describe a contrasting reality in some countries — something that shows the saying is not actually followed there.
A suitable completion is: "this is just a saying and very few actually implement it."
Another suitable completion is: "the importance of education is often neglected."
Both of these completions correctly contrast with the general statement and are grammatically appropriate. Therefore, the best choice is the option that accepts both continuations.
