In Germany, who had the task of rebuilding homes and farms after the war was over?"
soldiers who had returned home
women and children
Nazi prisoners
Or American soldier
(Parallel journeys)

I think it's the soldiers who had returned home. The women helped but they weren't tasked with it. They received some money from other countries like the US, so it could be American soldier too, but I'm not sure.

nouns refer to people (other than pronouns), places and things, whereas verbs describe actions and are usually part of the predicate of a sentence. finally, pronouns can work as nouns and identify the participants in speech.

in the example sentence, "will" is a verb part or auxiliary verb, "be" is an infinitive verb and "books" is a plural noun.
