Official Solution:
The support group for mothers of soldiers emphasizes in its introductory literature that acts of heroism have been performed every day by young men and women born of American families.
A. have been performed every day by young men and women born of American families
B. every day have been performed by young men and women, born in American families
C. are performed, every day, by young men and women born of American families
D. are performed every day by young men and women born in American families
E. are performed every day by young men and women born of American families
This sentence is testing two skills, one at the beginning of the underlined portion, and one at the end. The first requires that the sentence be kept in simple present tense. There is nothing to indicate a past action; rather, the support group emphasizes...acts of heroism that are ongoing. Secondly, the sentence tests the correct idiomatic use of the preposition in to indicate being part of a family through birth.
A. The preposition of is misused, and past perfect tense – have been performed - is unnecessary.
B. Every day at the beginning of this option makes the sentence awkward, and the comma is unnecessary.
C. Of is misused, and the commas surrounding every day are unnecessary.
D. This option correctly uses the phrase are performed to indicate present tense, as well as identifies the correct use of the preposition in with the verb born.
E. The preposition of is misused.

'born in' a family is a bad construct, it should be 'born to'
Its really a bad quality question.
'born in country' might have made some sense.
