People seldom see the good sides of things and the broader pictures. That's a shame. Therefore, don't go ____ life with that attitude, Kid.
A. into B. for C. through

I think all fit in the sentence. But the answer is "through".

What does a native speaker think about it? Does it have to be answer C.

Thanks!

C is most normal and natural.

"Into" just about makes sense, if you want to emphasize that the "kid" hasn't really started life yet.

In my opinion "for" doesn't work at all.

Hope helps,
Ian
