Directions: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention. Pay careful attention.  

Bringing up the baby is now a science and fine art! Most of the maternal grandparents would agree with this statement. My mother lost fifteen kilos in six months when my son was born and I gained that as much. Both ways it was because of the anxiety and shared responsibility. My female colleagues welcome retirement when their daughter is ready to deliver or had just delivered. They most often befriend young experienced mothers and spend long counseling sessions with them collecting tips on how to tackle a crisis.

It is a funny sight to see grey haired women browsing “Bringing up Baby” books at the local book store. One tends to think what they did with their own offsprings. Ask them and pat comes the reply “it was so easy then. They grew up on their own”. The mother may wear many hats at the same time. But to her or her parents the mind boggling thing for the first few years is diaper changes, circadian rhythm and continual feeding. At home social life is a taboo. Phone calls give the cause for irritation, music becomes noise, friends and relatives become total strangers, the domestic help a spirit of mercy and the pediatrician a fairy godmother. Raising a kid is akin to a guerilla warfare and if you hear a woman say that her baby ‘is beautiful and perfect and an angel’ all the time, then she is the grandma.


What is challenging for maternal grandparents?


1).

Raising grandchildren.


2).

Feeding their children.


3).

Giving birth to grandchildren.


4).

Bringing up their own babies.

The entire passage deals with the idea of maternal grandparents sharing the responsibility of bringing up grandchildren with their daughters. As the passage presents it, the grandparents are very cautious and worried about bringing up the grandchildren, so they prepare themselves before the children are born. Thus option 1 is the correct answer. Option 3 is completely irrelevant. Options 2 and 4 are incorrect because according to the passage these people did not find raising up their children a difficult task: ‘Ask them and pat comes the reply “it was so easy then. They grew up on their own”’
