Answer
Correct Answer: For these reasons
Explanation
Given data
- Text: Due to these reason we are all in favour of universal compulsory education.
Concept/ApproachUse for these reasons (plural noun and idiomatic causal phrase) rather than the prepositional 'due to' + singular noun. 'Due to' typically modifies nouns (e.g., 'the delay was due to…') and requires number agreement.
Option analysisFor these reasons — Correct idiom; correct plural.'Out of these reasons'/'By these reasons' — Non-idiomatic.'No improvement' — Leaves both an idiomatic misuse and number error (reason → reasons).
Step-by-step correctionRewrite: For these reasons, we are all in favour of universal compulsory education.
Common pitfallsOverusing 'due to'; forgetting plural agreement after 'these'.
Final AnswerFor these reasons
