Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
In every country of the world, primary caregivers are the women of children and elders.

The correct answer is women are the primary caregivers of.

Explanation:

The original sentence reads: "In every country of the world, primary caregivers are the women of children and elders."

This phrasing is grammatically awkward because "primary caregivers" is placed at the beginning of the clause without a proper verb linking it smoothly to the subject. The subject performing the action/role is "women", so "women" should come first followed by the verb "are".

Correct Sentence Structure:

Subject + Verb + Predicate Noun/Adjective + Prepositional Object

• Subject: women

• Verb: are

• Noun phrase/Role: the primary caregivers

• Prepositional phrase: of children and elders

Rearranging the underlined segment according to standard English grammar gives: "women are the primary caregivers of".

Complete Sentence:

"In every country of the world, women are the primary caregivers of children and elders."
