SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

2

The correct idiom is "for the good of", meaning "for the benefit of." Part (2) wrongly uses the preposition to.

The corrected sentence reads: "Freedom fighters laboured for the good of the poor enslaved masses." Hence the error lies in part 2.
