Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.

 

__________ are often quite caring.

Answer Details
The correct option is "mothers-in-law" because it is the plural form of "mother-in-law," which refers to the mother of one's spouse. The sentence suggests that people who hold this title (mothers-in-law) are often quite caring. The word "mothers-in-laws" (option C) is incorrect because it uses the plural form "laws" instead of "law." Meanwhile, "mother-in-law" (option A) and "mother-in-laws" (option B) are both singular forms, which do not agree with the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. Therefore, the plural form "mothers-in-law" (option D) is the most appropriate choice.
