Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

A family is made up of a variety of persons. Each person has his /her own personality, belongs to a specific age group and as a result of the age group will have specific goals and aims. If each person does not respect the rights of other family members, there is going to be no end of conflict in the home which could lead to a complete break down of communication.

One of the best ways to make sure that family members live together in peace and harmony and at the same time live individual lives that could be considered as happy and enjoyable, is to have positive and honest communication in the home. Through the medium of positive and honest communication, each person will be able to express feelings, identify problems that may arise from day to day and find solutions that would lead to the maintenance and enhancement of the much needed healthy relationship in the family. One of the greatest desires of every individual is to be happy and contented in this world. Belonging to a happy family plays a very significant part in helping someone to achieve that goal of happiness and contentment.

The family is said to be the most basic unit of society in the context that the way a person conducts himself/ herself in society, depends to a very large extent on the type of values and standards of behaviour he brings from the home into the society. However, happiness at home cannot be attained without communication. A happy family is indeed a strong family. From the strength of the family, individual members get the strength to face the world and the many problems that may confront them daily.

Members of a family have different roles to play. A role can be defined as a pattern of behavior that goes with or is expected of a particular position. Every position includes the rights, duties and responsibilities by which it is characterized. Family members hold positions of either parents or children and the role of the child is determined to some degree by gender. If every family member is made to understand and appreciate the position held and the importance of honoring or fulfilling its expectations, families can go a long way in avoiding many of the problems that face families today.
