The correct answer for this question is in the third option. It is a causative form of Japanese language grammar. Where in Japanese language, we use this grammar pattern to express on making or letting someone to do something.
To be able to use Japanese causative grammar pattern, the main thing to be remembered is to change the verb used in the pattern into a causative verb pattern. In the above question, the verb is ‘arau’ or to wash. It is then changed into causative verb ‘arawaseru’.
Below is the construction of the causative pattern in the above question :
| Kanji | Instigator | は | Agent | に | 目的語 |
を
|
動詞「受身 形」 |
| Hiragana | Instigator | は | Agent | に | もくてきご | を | どうし「うけみ けい」 |
| Romaji | Instigator | は | Agent | に | mokutekigo | wo | doushi「ukemi kei」 |
| Meaning | Instigator | particle ‘wa’ | Agent | particle ‘ni’ | object | particle ‘wo’ | verb 「causative form」 |
Instigator is someone who is making someone else to do something.
Agent is someone who is doing the activity or work.
In the above context, the child is made by his or her mom to wash the glass, tumbler or any drinking vessel which is stated.
