Choose the correct sentence.
Correct answer: C. The boy was brought up by his uncle.
- A. The boy was brought in by his uncle.
- B. The boy was brought over by his uncle.
- C. The boy was brought up by his uncle.
- D. The boy was brought off by his uncle.
Explanation
The correct answer is 'The boy was brought up by his uncle.' The phrase 'brought up' specifically refers to the act of raising or nurturing a child, making it the most appropriate choice in this context. In contrast, the other options use 'brought in,' 'brought over,' and 'brought off,' which either imply different actions (like bringing someone to a location) or do not have a relevant meaning in the context of upbringing. Therefore, only option C accurately captures the essence of the question.
