English Comprehension Reading Comprehension (C)

When a child reaches adolescence, there is apt to be a conflict between the parents and the child, since the latter considers himself to be by now quite capable of managing his own affairs, while the former are filled with parental solicitude, which is often a disguise for love of power. Parents consider, usually, that the various moral problems which arise in adolescence are peculiarly their province. The options they express, however, are so dogmatic that the young seldom confide in them, and usually go their own way in secret.

Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1. The adolescent does not feel comfortable with his parents because they tend to be dominating and assertive.

2. The adolescent of modern times does not have much respect for parents. Which of the assumptions given above is/are valid?

Explanation:

- Assumption 1: The passage suggests that adolescents find their parents dominating due to their dogmatic and assertive control over moral issues.

- Assumption 2: This is not directly supported by the passage. The passage asserts that adolescents prefer to manage their own affairs and keep secrets but doesn't explicitly mention disrespect.

- Option 1 (1 only): This suggests only Assumption 1 is correct. The passage supports the idea that adolescents perceive their parents as dominating.

- Option 2 (2 only): Suggests only Assumption 2 is correct, which is unsupported by the passage.

- Option 3 (Both 1 and 2): This option is incorrect as Assumption 2 lacks sufficient evidence.

- Option 4 (Neither 1 nor 2): Incorrect, as Assumption 1 is supported.

Your answer, which is Option 1 - 1 only, is correct.
