Correct Answer: inculcate

Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Explanation:
Instilled means to introduce gradually or firmly into someone's mind or feelings, often imparting a particular quality or idea. Similarly, inculcate means to instil an idea, habit, or attitude firmly through persistent instruction. In the context of the sentence, both instilled and inculcate convey the idea of imparting or embedding a sense of worth in the children.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Stopped means to cease or come to an end.
• Took out means to remove or extract something from a place or situation.
• Neglected means to fail to care for or give attention to something or someone.

Therefore, the correct answer is inculcate.
