Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: Some people's
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
In English, when expressing possession or association, we typically use the possessive form of a noun, which is indicated by adding "'s" after the noun. In this case, we are discussing the fear that belongs to or is associated with some people, so the possessive form "some people's fear" is the appropriate construction.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Some people's fear of groups results in long silences or excessive talking."
