Final answer:
The correct answer is (a) Coarse, effect, conscience. In the given sentence, 'unruly' describes the condition of the child's hair, 'affect' is the correct verb form, and 'conscience' represents the feeling of right and wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is (a) Coarse, effect, conscience.
In the given sentence, 'unruly' describes the condition of the child's hair, which implies that the hair is rough and difficult to manage. 'Coarse' is the correct spelling of the word that means rough or not smooth, making option a) correct.
The verb 'seem' is used to express an opinion or belief. In this case, the woman's lack of concern about the child's hair suggests that she does not mind its unruly condition. 'Affect' is the correct verb form that means to influence or have an impact on, making option a) correct.
The feeling of right and wrong is represented by the noun 'conscience.' In the context of the sentence, the woman's lack of concern about the child's hair does not go against her conscience. Therefore, 'conscience' is the correct word choice, making option a) correct.
