Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is C. Elders should be respected.
The other options are incorrect because they do not express the same idea of obligation or necessity.
- Option A, “Elders should have respected,” is in the past tense and implies that respect was not given when it should have been.
- Option B, “Elders have been respected,” is in the present perfect tense and implies that respect has already been given.
- Option D, “Elders are to be respected,” is in the passive voice and implies that respect is something that is done to elders rather than something that elders deserve.
The correct answer, C, “Elders should be respected,” is in the simple present tense and expresses the idea that respect is something that should be given to elders at all times.
