1.Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
(10qx1m=10m)
(1) As the family finally sets off from home after many arguments there is a
moment of lull as the car takes off. “Alright, so where are we going for dinner
now?” asks the one at the driving wheel. What follows is chaos, as multiple
voices make as many suggestions.
(2) By the time order is restored and a decision is arrived at, tempers have risen,
feelings injured and there is at least one person grumbling.
(3) Twenty years ago, you would step out of home, the decision of meal and
venue already made with no arguments or opposition and everybody looked
forward to the meal with equal enthusiasm. The decision was made by the head
of the family and the others fell in line. Today every member of the family has a
say in every decision which also promotes a sense of togetherness and bonding.
(4) We empower our kids to take their own decisions from a very early age. We
ask them the cuisine they prefer, the movie they want to see, the holiday they
wish to go on and the subjects they wish to study.
(5) It's a closely connected world out there where children consult and guide
each other. A parent's well meaning advice can sound like nothing more than
unnecessary preaching. How then do we reach our children through all the conflicting views and make the voice of reason be heard? Children today
question choices and prefer to go with the flow.
(6) What then is the best path to take? I would say the most important thing one
can do is to listen. Listen to your children and their silences. Ensure that you
keep some time aside for them, insist that they share their stories with you. Step
into their world. It is not as complicated as it sounds; just a daily half an hour of
quality time would do the trick.

Explanation:
Step : 1 The family head made the choice, and the others followed suit. Today, every family member has a voice in every choice, which fosters a sense of cohesion and closeness. Looking over the choices: There are no resentments held against anyone in the family.
Step : 2 One benefit of involving every member of the family in decision-making is that it fosters a sense of community and closeness. One drawback is that it could lead to fights, and by the time a decision is made, emotions are already running high.
Step : 3 Determine whether the problem merits a struggle.
Try to keep the person and the issue apart.
If you're too enraged to speak gently, try to calm down first.
Remember that the goal is to end the quarrel, not to win the debate.
Step : 4 We empower our kids to take their own decisions from a very early age. We ask them the cuisine they prefer, the movie they want to see, the holiday they wish to go on, and the subjects they wish to study.
Step : 5 When everyone participates in decision-making, everyone has the chance to voice their opinions. By soliciting everyone's thoughts, the topic is extensively examined from all angles. When we realize that our opinions are respected, we feel like a more significant member of the family.
Step : 6 From a very young age, we give our children the freedom to make their own judgements. We inquire about their preferred foods, favorite films, ideal vacation destinations, and academic interests.
