In the above passage, the numbered gaps indicate missing words. Against each number in the passage, four options are given. Choose the word that is the most suitable to fill number 75 in the passage.

Answer Details
The missing word in number 75 should be a word that describes a person who becomes responsible for the debts of an existing business, if an entrepreneur buys or invests in it. Out of the options given, the word that best fits in this context is "partner". This is because when an entrepreneur becomes a partner in an existing business, they become responsible for its debts and liabilities, as well as its profits. The words "colleague" and "comrade" refer to a person who works with another person, but they do not specifically imply any financial responsibility for the business. The word "fellow" can refer to a person who shares a particular characteristic or status with another person, but it does not convey the specific financial responsibility of a partner in a business.
