Correct Answer: compulsorily


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

It indicates that something is required or mandatory, often by law or regulation. It is the most appropriate choice, which indicates that it is mandatory for children to attend school up to the age of fourteen.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Compel: It denotes forcing or making someone do something against their will.
  • Compulsively: It describes the act of doing something as a compulsion or an irresistible urge, which is not the intended meaning in this context.
  • Compulsorily: This adverb is the appropriate form of compulsory and means that something is done in a required or mandatory manner.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Children below the age of fourteen should be compulsorily sent to school."
