Correct Answer: the most important


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The original sentence uses the comparative form "more important", which is suitable for comparing two things. However, when expressing the highest degree of importance among multiple things, the superlative form should be used. Therefore, the correct substitution is " the most important". This modification ensures grammatical accuracy and effectively conveys the intended meaning of emphasising the highest level of importance.

So, the correct sentence would be: "I've realised that working hard is the most important thing for me."
