The child was _ by his grandparents.
Correct answer: C. brought up
- A. brought over
- B. brought out
- C. brought up
- D. brought in
Explanation
The correct answer is brought up, which means to raise or nurture a child. In the context of the sentence, it indicates that the grandparents played a significant role in the child's upbringing. The other options do not convey this nurturing relationship:brought over implies transportation, not upbringing.brought out refers to revealing or making known, which doesn't fit the context of raising a child.brought in suggests introducing someone into a situation, which is not relevant here.Thus, brought up is the only option that accurately describes the action performed by the grandparents.
