Correct Answer: over
Solution : The correct choice is the first option, "over."
The intended meaning of the sentence is that some people are fit to rule, and other people are ruled over by them. In the second option, "of" is the error of the preposition, as in this sentence, people always rule " over" other people and not " of" the people. Similarly, people cannot be ruled on or at .
Therefore, the complete sentence is, "Aristotle said that some persons are fit to rule, while others are fit to be ruled over ."
