Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
The phrase at heart means a person's real nature in contrast to how one may appear. This fits correctly in the sentence and conveys the intended meaning that the speaker loves him because, no matter how he appears, he is a good man inside.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- By heart means to memorise word for word and does not fit according to the context of the sentence.
- Of heart means related to heart and is not the appropriate choice for the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "I love him because he is a good man at heart ".
