which words in paragraph means "major"
Read the following passage carefullytomd amBwer the question that fel 1. A bookshop is not something you find in every gali or mohalla these days. Books, which were once a permanent accompaniment for youngsters in their formative years, are fading out from their list of engagements. 2. Television has been blamed for this calamitous situation, which is producing square-faced people and a bookless society. Furthermore, today's children are under pressure to be smart and popular and to succeed on a social level. Moreover, computers, video games, the Internet, swimming lessons, cricket and a youngster's passion for hour-long tête-à-tête on the telephone with friends eat up all their leisure time. 3. A child who is constantly under pressure to live up to his parents' expectations, which are at times unreasonable, does not like to throw himself into another set of books after the laborious school work, unless he comes from a family of readers where the engrossing works of Shakespeare and Dickens are just a matter of pulling them out from the shelves. But a visit to the capital's leading bookstores presents a contrasting picture of youngsters' reading habits. These bookshops claim that they are doing healthy business and have many regular buyers from this age group. Though the works of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Mark Twain no longer interest teenagers, bestsellers from Daniel Steele, Sidney Sheldon and Jeffery Archer are on the list of all reading teens. Self-help books, such as those on personality development or relationship management, are also picked up by many of them. Mystery books like Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys are popular with kids and Mills and Boons and other romance novels with their fairly predictable formula work with teenage girls. For parents of children below ten, volumes of Panchatantra Stories, Amar Chitra Katha and other bedtime stories are worthy purchases as these teach the child what is wrong in their own special way. Taste and enthusiasm for literature can be communicated artfully to children by reading bedtime-stories to them, encouraging them to play historical characters and giving books as birthday gifts. 7. Family reading which was once popular in the West could well be adopted here. Reading aloud the works of great men by parents to their children not only forms a warm bond between them but also attracts young minds to the world of books which gives them a chance to explore the sea of life​
