Correct Answer: certainly going to benefit


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

The original sentence has a word order issue. The adverb certainly is misplaced in the sentence, appearing after the verb benefit. In English, adverbs of certainty, such as certainly, are usually placed before the main verb or after the modal auxiliary verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "This plan is certainly going to benefit all of us."
