Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. that could.
- The most appropriate option to replace the bracketed word segment in the sentence is "that could".
- So the sentence should read: "Children should avoid giving out personal details online that could identify them or their location."
- The phrase "that could" is better because it implies a potential outcome. This aligns with the cautionary tone of the advice, emphasizing the risk without asserting that it will definitely happen.
