Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The given sentence is: "The culture of a person, society or nation is _______ on how the citizens ______ children, women and aged people." We need to fill in the blanks with words that correctly fit the context of the sentence.

1. The context of the sentence suggests that the way citizens interact with different groups like children, women, and aged people is a reflection or evaluation of the culture of a society or nation. Thus, the first blank should be a word that indicates assessment or evaluation.
2. The options for the first blank are:
   • calculated
   • estimated
   • settled
   • measured
   • understood
   Based on the context, "measured" is the most appropriate word. The term "measured" implies assessment or evaluation, which fits the context as culture can be assessed by observing societal behaviors.
3. The second blank needs a word that describes how citizens interact or behave with children, women, and aged people. Let's evaluate the options:
   • manage
   • nurture
   • honor
   • treat
   • address
   The word "treat" is suitable for the context because it broadly encompasses the interaction and behavior towards these groups.
4. Therefore, the correct pair of words for the blanks is: "measured … treat".

In conclusion, the complete sentence is: "The culture of a person, society or nation is measured on how the citizens treat children, women and aged people."
