The word that best complete the gap 3 is:
By Sally Kane, About.com Guide
Born in the mid-1980's and later, Generation Y legal professionals are in their 20s and are just entering the workforce. With numbers estimated as high as 70 million, Generation Y (also -1- as the Millennials) is the fastest growing segment of today's workforce. As law firms compete for available talent, employers cannot ignore the needs, desires and attitudes of this vast generation. Below are a few common traits that define Generation Y.
Tech-Savvy: Generation Y grew up with technology and rely on it to perform their jobs better. Armed with BlackBerrys, laptops, cellphones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and -2- webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations.
Family-Centric: The fast-track has lost much of its appeal for Generation Y who is willing to trade high pay for fewer billable hours, flexible schedules and a better work/life balance. While older generations may view this attitude as narcissistic or lacking commitment, discipline and drive, Generation Y legal professionals have a different vision of workplace expectations and prioritize family over work.
Achievement-Oriented: Nurtured and pampered -3- parents who did not want to make the mistakes of the previous generation, Generation Y is confident, ambitious and achievement-oriented. They have high expectations of their employers, seek out new challenges and are not afraid to question authority. Generation Y wants meaningful work and a solid learning curve
Team-Oriented: As children, Generation Y participated in team sports, play groups and other group activities. They value teamwork and seek the input and affirmation of others. Part of a no-person-left-behind generation, Generation Y is loyal, committed and wants to be included and involved.
Attention-Craving: Generation Y craves attention in the forms of feedback and guidance. They appreciate being kept in the loop and seek frequent praise and reassurance. Generation Y may benefit greatly from mentors who can help guide and develop their young careers.

A alternativa correta é a letra B: "by".
Vamos analisar a questão com mais detalhes para que fique claro o motivo dessa escolha. A questão envolve uma compreensão sobre o uso de preposições em inglês, um tema bastante recorrente em provas de concursos públicos. As preposições em inglês são palavras que ligam partes de uma frase, indicando diversas relações como tempo, lugar, causa e entre outras.
No trecho fornecido, temos a frase: "Nurtured and pampered _3_ parents who did not want to make the mistakes of the previous generation...". Para completá-la corretamente, precisamos entender qual preposição estabelece a melhor relação entre "Nurtured and pampered" e "parents".
A preposição "by" é usada para indicar o agente da passiva, ou seja, quem realiza a ação. Portanto, "Nurtured and pampered by parents" significa que os pais são os responsáveis por nutrir e mimar a Geração Y.
Agora, vamos entender por que as outras opções estão incorretas:
A - of: A preposição "of" é geralmente usada para indicar posse, relação ou origem, e não para indicar quem realizou a ação. "Nurtured and pampered of parents" não faz sentido nesse contexto.
C - for: "For" é usado para indicar propósito ou destinação. "Nurtured and pampered for parents" não é adequado, pois não transmite a ideia de que os pais são os responsáveis pela ação.
D - from: "From" indica origem ou ponto de partida. "Nurtured and pampered from parents" sugeriria que a nutrição e o mimo vieram de outra origem, o que não é o caso aqui.
E - on: "On" é usado para indicar posição sobre algo ou em relação a um tema. "Nurtured and pampered on parents" não faz sentido nesse contexto, pois não há uma relação de posição ou área de atuação.
Portanto, a alternativa que completa corretamente a frase é “by”, pois indica que os pais são os agentes da ação de nutrir e mimar a Geração Y.

They were pampaered by their parents with the intent of steering the youngster in a direction other than the beaten track taken by their elders. So the syntactic connection calls for passive voice being used as the sentence subject as the topical entity is the end receiver of their parents, who, not being in the spotlight, are demoted to semantical position of object in a sentence that brings to teh fore the potential held in their offspring.
A voz passiva é usada neste caso porque a geração recebe a ação. Voz passive exige preposition "by".

Na tradução, "nutridos e mimados por pais que não querem cometer os mesmos erros da geração anterior" - "nutured and pampered by parents that..."
