Most European countries offer a variety of programs for assisting working parents, which include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and they subsidize public nurseries and kindergartens.
a. for assisting working parents, which include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and they subsidize
b. for the assistance of working parents, to include paid maternity and paternity leaves, also financial allowances for families with children, and subsidizing
c. in order to assist working parents, to include paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and to subsidize
d. to assist working parents, which includes paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and they also subsidize
e. to assist working parents, including paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and subsidized

Correct option is E: to assist working parents, including paid maternity and paternity leaves, financial allowances for families with children, and subsidized

Explanation:

Option A is not parallel as it uses "for assisting", which is wrong and thus we eliminate this option.

Option B uses "for the assistance", and this does not make the sentence clear, but instead it makes it bogus and hence we eliminate this option

Option D is also the wrong option because "to assist working parents, which includes paid maternity and paternity" makes it sound as though working parent include paid maternity etc. Hence we eliminate D.

Option C and E uses "to include" and "including" respectively, and after the comma, the best that fits the sentence is "including", which therefore eliminates option C and leaves Option E as the correct option.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
