Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The second option is the correct choice .

Explanation : This option maintains the correct tense and the correct usage of prepositions to convey the intended meaning that not everyone is suitable or qualified for everything. Since this is a general statement, it should be in the simple present tense. Therefore, the use of "is" is preferred.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Every person is not fit for everything."
