Giải thích chi tiết
✅ Đáp án: improve mentally and emotionally
🔎 Lí do: ✔ Câu: “It plays a significant role in our cognitive development, helping us to (40) _______. Therefore, it’s important to cultivate a habit of reading from a young age.” → Sau “helping us to” cần một động từ nguyên mẫu (to + V) để diễn tả kết quả hoặc tác dụng của việc đọc. ✔ improve mentally and emotionally = cải thiện về mặt tinh thần và cảm xúc, mô tả lợi ích tổng thể mà việc đọc mang lại cho con người.
🚨 Những đáp án còn lại thì sao? ❌ mentally and emotionally improved: sai loại từ – là tính từ, không thể đứng sau “to”. ❌ be improved mentally and emotionally: sai thể – bị động, không hợp với chủ ngữ “us” (chủ động trong việc phát triển bản thân). ❌ improving mentally and emotionally: sai cấu trúc – “helping us to” phải theo sau bằng động từ nguyên mẫu, không phải V-ing.
