To determine the correct answer to the question, we need to analyze the given information from the sentence "the Paramesvarans are offended by the term orphans because." Let's break down each response option and see which one aligns with the given information.
1. "They feel they are now the parents to these children." - This answer does not directly address why the Paramesvarans are offended by the term "orphans." It is true that they feel like parents to these children, but it doesn't explain their offense towards the term.
2. "The government will not let the children be adopted by them." - This answer is not supported by the given information. We do not have any information about the government's stance on the adoption of these children.
3. "Mr. Paramesvaran grew up without a father and knows how difficult it was." - This answer is not directly related to their offense towards the term "orphans." While growing up without a father may indeed give Mr. Paramesvaran sympathy towards orphans, it does not explain why they are offended by the term.
4. "They think the natural parents of the children will be found alive some day." - This answer aligns with the given information. The use of the term "orphans" implies that the children do not have any natural parents alive. Since the Paramesvarans believe that the natural parents may be found alive someday, they might find the label of "orphans" offensive.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is: they think the natural parents of the children will be found alive someday.
