Good Work!

Question:
Grandparents, who were the first generation to line dance, taught their children to consider the activity as part of Fredericton's heritage.
Answer:
The answer Right is correct.
Explanation:
The relative pronoun "who" is currently the most acceptable one to use to refer to people (in this case, "grandparents"). You should not use "that" or "which" here.
