## Answer

As war spreads to many corners of the globe, children sadly have been drawn into the center of conflicts. In Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Colombia, however, groups of children have been taking part in peace education **projects** . The children, after learning to resolve conflicts, took on the **role** of peacemakers. The Children's Movement for Peace in Colombia was even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998. Groups of children **acting** as peacemakers studied human rights and poverty issues.

## Explanation

Blank 2 follows "took on the ___ of peacemakers," and the fixed phrase is "take on the role of" someone. "Images" does not fit after "took on." Blank 3 needs a participle before "as," so "acting as peacemakers" is right. "Assuming" is the trap, because "assume" needs a direct object and does not pair with "as" here.

## Hints

- Look for nouns that describe organized activities or specific functions within a group.
- Consider which verb form describes a continuous state or behavior when modifying a subject.
