Hi! I met this question yesterday,but I couldn't remember the whole sentence. Its probable structure is ______Mary became the first woman who completed some achievement For the blank,there are 2 options which I am very confused about A. At the age of 40 B. Of 40-year-old I don't remember which option I chose at the end,but I guess I took B 😥😥

"At the age of 40, Mary became the first woman who..." is correct. "Of 40-year-old Mary became the first woman who..." is incorrect. However, the problem is the word "of." It would be correct to say "40-year-old Mary became the first woman who..." "At the age of 40, Mary..." is a statement about time. It is similar to saying "In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space." In "40-year-old Mary became..." is a statement about a characteristic or property of Mary. "40-year-old" is functioning as an adjective. It is similar to saying "86-pound Olga Korbut became the first woman to perform a backflip-to-catch on the uneven bars."

Sorry to say this though the correct option is A. At the age of means: When she turned 40.
