Question

Read the following passage and find out the most appropriate option of the asked question.
Karuna Verma is bewildered." I don't know how she did it," she says about her mother, Renu Chopra. Karunas childhood memories are of her father leaving late for office so that, by then, her mother would be back from work. Working in sync the kids were well taken care of. Of her mother handling kitchen and classroom with ease. When her own daughter was born, karuna to wanted to do the balancing act. But it did not turn out to be as easy as it seemed. For starters, her parents Era was different from here. As she was living with her husband in Andheri Mumbai away from their families, resuming work would have meant leaving her daughter with a maid while she was away. Her daughter's formative years would be spent with an outsider, I thought that did not appeal to Karuna. She quit her teaching job in a school.For a woman who was encouraged to be independent. Throughout her life, the decision to quit and stay at home was a difficult one. Ironically it was her mother who urged her to quit the job and become a full time mother. For Karuna, being a housewife is one of the toughest jobs she has had." I have no time for myself", says Karuna." I make sure all my personal work is done when Avni is asleep".I had a set routine. My husband and I used to wake up at 6:00 a.m. I would read the food the maid had cooked the day before and back it for lunch. Then we used to head off to work, at night, we would go out. I had a lot of time to myself and for my husband then," says Karuna. The routine is quite different now. Karuna has taken to cooking. Wakes up quite early and makes sure all her work is done before the baby is up. The rest of the day flies by, pandering to 2 year old Avni's needs.

Karuna decided to quit her job because

She wanted to pay more attention to her cooking

She did not want her daughter to spend her early years with a maid

She was not interested in her teaching job

She wanted to have more time ,to herself and for her husband

Karuna Verma is bewildered at

her mother’s ability to combine her career with household work

the amount of work that she has to do after becoming a mother

the late hours of work that her father followed

the responsibility of bringing up a daughter in a big city

'……parents working in sync’ means

parents pooling their resources together to take care of expenses

parents having staggered office hours and sharing household work

husband and wife sinking their differences to preserve domestic harmony

father earning and mother taking care of children

'Karuna too wanted to do the balancing act.’ In this sentence, the term ‘balancing act’ implies

Managing the time efficiently so that parents can spend quality time with their children

Making adjustments in order to balance work and leisure properly

A mother’s ability to look after her child without quiting her job

Sharing of responsibilities by both husband and wife

After Karuna quit her job

She had no time for herself as Avni needed all her attention and care

She had a lot of time to herself and for her husband

She occupied herself with cooking to spend her time usefully

She sent her maid away as she felt that the maid was a bad influence on Avni
