Model Answer
Oral hygiene should be inculcated in children early in life.
Explanation
"Should" expresses obligation or advice, which fits the context of a recommended healthy habit. "Would" expresses willingness or a conditional action and is grammatically incorrect here. The passage from Chapter 5 also references children's poor oral hygiene habits, reinforcing that should conveys the correct prescriptive meaning.
