Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding Nuclear and Joint Family.
In a nuclear family, members are fewer in number, so they usually have closer interaction and stronger bonding.
In a joint family, many members live together, which may sometimes lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.
Step 2: Role of Parents.
Parental flexibility helps children learn adjustment, cooperation and responsibility.
It does not create a negative effect; rather, it improves emotional development.
Step 3: Child Development.
A child’s physical, emotional and social development begins at home, where the child first learns values, behaviour and communication skills.
School further develops these qualities but does not initiate them.

Answer 2

Step 1: Understanding the Question.
The question asks us to identify sentences from the extract that show how the strict behaviour of parents affects their children.
We need to look for lines that show discipline, pressure, fear, or lack of freedom imposed by parents.
Step 2: Identifying Relevant Sentences.
The sentences that indicate strict parental behaviour are:
(i) “Father had forbidden us to play in the street.”
(ii) “We were not allowed to make any noise.”
(iii) “Mother insisted that we follow every rule without question.”
These sentences clearly show that the parents were very strict and imposed many restrictions on the children, which affected their freedom and happiness.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the above sentences reflect the strict behaviour of parents and its impact on the children.

Answer 3

Step 1: Understanding the concept of Nuclear Family.
In a nuclear family, children usually receive the complete attention of their parents. There are fewer family members, and often parents fulfill most of the child’s wishes without much restriction. This may make the child self-centered and demanding as they are not used to sharing or adjusting with many others.
Rewritten sentence:
(a) In nuclear family children become demanding and selfish because they receive excessive attention and do not learn to share or adjust with others.
Step 2: Understanding Permissive Parenting.
Permissive parents are very lenient and do not set strict rules or boundaries for their children. They allow children to make decisions without proper guidance. As a result, children may not develop responsibility and maturity.
Rewritten sentence:
(b) Children of permissive parents become dependent and immature because their parents do not set proper rules or guide them towards responsibility.

Step 3: Social Skills Development.
The family environment provides opportunities to practise social skillsChildren observe how elders behave with neighbours, relatives and friends and try to imitate themA loving and supportive family builds confidence, cooperation and empathy, which are essential for healthy social behaviour
Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, family plays a crucial role in shaping an individual’s personality and social conductA strong and positive family background helps a person become a responsible and well-mannered member of society

Answer 5

Step 1: Identify the tense and structure of the active sentence.
The given sentence is in the simple present tense.
Structure: Subject + do/does + not + base verb + object.
Here,
Subject = Children
Verb = do not get
Object = complete attention from their parents.
Step 2: Rule for changing into passive voice (Simple Present).
Passive structure of simple present tense:
Object + is/am/are + past participle + by + subject.
Since “complete attention” is singular, we use “is”.
Step 3: Convert the sentence.
Active: Children do not get complete attention from their parents.
Passive: Complete attention from their parents is not received by the children.
(Note: “get” in passive form is better replaced with “received” for correct grammatical structure.)
Step 4: Analyze the options.
(A) Incorrect verb agreement (“do not get”) and wrong structure.
(B) Incorrect structure and verb form.
(C) “is not got” is grammatically incorrect in standard passive form.
(D) Correct passive structure and correct past participle “received”.
Step 5: Conclusion.
The grammatically correct passive voice sentence is option (D).

Answer 6

Step 1: Identify the Underlined Part.
The underlined part is “rigid and punitive”, which describes the nature or quality of authoritarian parents.
Step 2: Choose the Correct Wh-word.
Since the answer describes a quality or manner, we use the Wh-word “How”.
We do not use “What” because “What” is generally used for identity or definition, not for describing nature or qualities in this structure.
Step 3: Apply Proper Question Structure.
In Wh-questions with the verb “are,” the correct structure is:
Wh-word + helping verb + subject + complement?
So, the correct formation becomes:
How are the authoritarian parents in nature?
Step 4: Check the Options.
(a) Incorrect because “What” is not suitable here.
(b) Incorrect due to wrong word order.
(c) Incorrect due to improper sentence structure.
(d) Correct because it follows proper Wh-question structure and grammar.
