Hi guys
I will appreciate if anyone can provide an explanation for each answer choice. Especially Option C & E. Thanks
I am not an expert, but I think I can explain this question well enough
Most European countries offer a variety of programs
for assisting working parents, which include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and they subsidize public nurseries and kindergartens.
A: for assisting working parents,
which include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and they subsidize ---
Which modifies the closest noun, in this case parents so it doesn't make any sense include... kindergartners to modify parentsB: for the assistance of working parents,
to include paid maternity and paternity leaves, also financial allowances for families with children, and
subsidizing ---
Not parallelC: in order to assist working parents, to include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and to subsidize ----
changes the intended meaning by doing the following:Most European countries offer a variety of programs in order
- to assist working parents
- to include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children
- to subsidize public nurseries and kindergartens.
The meaning here is that countries offer programs to assist parents, to include paid maternity and to subsidize public nurseries, and here the intended meaning is how they assist the parents rather than which programs they offer, as well the last to sentences are in a lower level than to assist working partents
D: to assist working parents, which includes paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and they also subsidize ----
Same as AE: to assist working parents, including paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and subsidized ---
Correct has the intended meaning that countries offer a variety of programs to assist working parents, programs that include paid maternity, paternity leaves, etc.
I hope I could make myself clear enough.
Cheers!
