Many caregivers believed they had【S7】______to help their relative. Some stated that helping others make them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and【S8】______.

答案 B
解析 children 是名词，在句中作主语，所以该空应填一个形容词，修饰children。由前句可推测their指老人的，所以应该是他们已长大的孩子，应填grown。
