Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The passage states that Alex "received a share in a legacy which made it possible for him to return to school" after having left due to "economic reasons".

- An 'Inheritance' is money or property that you receive from someone who has died, which directly aligns with receiving funds that resolve economic difficulties and enable future plans like returning to school.
- Option 1) Lottery: While a lottery provides money, 'legacy' specifically refers to something passed down, usually upon death, not a random win.

- Option 4) Legal payment: This is too broad; while an inheritance involves legal processes, 'legal payment' doesn't specify the nature of the funds being received from a legacy.
