Look at the quiz title: Who is doing the studying—わたし or 母? That sentence is a typical example (technically speaking, it's the passive causative of 勉強する) of using causative verb forms in Japanese. In English the causative is "let (someone) do", "make (someone) do", or "have (someone) do". It's similar in Japanese, but, in addition to changing the verb form, you have to change the particles attached to the actors in the sentence. This beginner Japanese quiz will push your knowledge of this important grammar topic—best of luck!
わたしは母に勉強させられます。
