Correct Answer: walks


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The sentence would be, "People from all walks of life, rich and poor, shouldered shoulders with each other."

The expression "walks of life" refers to different occupations, backgrounds, or social positions.

It is a common idiom used to describe various aspects of human life, and in this context, it emphasises the diversity of people who come to the market. The phrase "all walks of life" means people from all different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds.

Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is walks.
