Correct Answer: encompasses


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

  • Likes: It typically refers to preferences or approvals, but in this sentence structure, it doesn't connect logically to the subject "education".

  • Releases: It means to set something free or make something available. It doesn't coherently convey the relationship between education, teaching, learning, conduct, and competency.

  • Encompasses: It means to include or contain within its scope or range. In the context of the sentence, "encompasses" logically connects education to the various elements.

  • Makes: It typically denotes causing something to happen or producing a result. In this sentence structure, "makes" doesn't directly relate to education.

Among the options provided, "encompasses" is the most suitable word to fill in the blank, as it properly conveys that education covers, includes, or incorporates the aspects of teaching.
