Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the fourth option "nothing".

This choice introduces the antonym "nothing" to contrast with "everything". It conveys clearly that excess of everything is bad, which means it is good for nothing.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Too much of anything is good for nothing ".
