__________ all means we should try to help the poor.
Answer: B
The answer is by: By all means we should try to help the poor.
By all means is a fixed idiom meaning 'certainly' or 'in every possible way'. The preposition in it cannot be changed.
'For all means' and 'of all means' are not English idioms. Because 'by' completes the idiom correctly, 'none of these' is also wrong. Compare the opposite idiom, by no means, meaning 'not at all'. Fixed phrases of this kind have to be learnt as wholes, since the preposition in them does not follow a general rule.
