Q.1 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow them:
The culture of nuclear families is in fashion. Parents are often heard complaining about the
difficulties in bringing up children these days. Too much of freedom in demand, too much
independence; over night parties; excessive extravagance, splurging pocket money; no time for
studies and family all this is a common cry of such families. Aren't parents, themselves,
responsible for this pitiful state ? The basic need of a growing youth is the family, love, attention
and bonding along with moral values. One should not forget that 'charity begins at home!
Independence and individuality both need to be respected, in order to maintain the sanctity of
family. Children, today are to be handled with tact in order to bridge the ever widening generation
gap. Only the reasonable demands need to be fulfilled, as there are too many expenses to be met
and top many social obligations to be taken care of by the parents. Our forefathers lived happily in
joint families. Children loved to live with their cousins, learnt to adjust within means. There was
perfect harmony between the generations. There never existed the concept of old-age homes.
There was deep respect for the family elders and love, care and concern for the youngsters. Even
the minor family differences were solved amicably.
