    B.

    No substitution required

    C.

    D.

    are encouraged to examine

    Correct option is D


    The correct option to substitute the highlighted segment in the sentence "The children here are encouraging to have examined all the aspects before forming an opinion on any matter." is option (d) are encouraged to examine
    Explanation:
    · The sentence intends to express that the children are being encouraged to actively examine all aspects before forming an opinion. The correct passive construction is "are encouraged to examine," where "encouraged" is the correct past participle used in a passive voice structure, and "to examine" is the appropriate infinitive form of the verb.
    Grammatical Rule Involved:
    · Passive Voice with Infinitives: In passive constructions like "are encouraged to," the past participle ("encouraged") is followed by the infinitive ("to examine") to express what action is encouraged. This structure is used to indicate that the subject (the children) is the recipient of the encouragement.
