Politics and money go together in this country.

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) go hand in hand.
Explanation: The idiom “go hand in hand” means two things that are closely connected and usually occur together. The sentence refers to the strong link between politics and money, which is best conveyed by this idiom. "Go together" is understandable but not idiomatic enough.
Grammatical rule used: Idiomatic expressions enhance sentence richness and are often used to replace literal expressions to show figurative meaning.

�� Grammar Booster:
Many idioms like “go hand in hand,” “come to light,” “beat around the bush” are used in place of simple verbs to express complex ideas effectively.
Meanings of other options:
· (a) go arm in arm – Walking together with arms linked (symbolic of romance or companionship) – less suitable.
· (b) go holding hands – Literal, used for couples, not for abstract ideas.
· (d) No substitution required – “Go together” is grammatically fine but lacks idiomatic strength.
