    Read the following passages/poem carefully and use correct options to answer the questions that follow.
    Parents are wonderful people. They always have the best interests of their children at heart and they will do anything to prevent their children from getting hurt. However, teenagers often think that parents do not understand them and they are unable to communicate with their parents. So these teenagers are rude to their parents and become utterly selfish at times. If teenagers are a bit more appreciative of their parents and try and put themselves in the shoes of their parents, they will then be able to know how their parents think and feel of their fears and dreams for their children. Friends too are wonderful to have. Good friends are always there for you, just like parents. But there are friends who may turn out to be bad influences and can lead you astray. Then there are friends who can inspire you and propel you to achieve great heights. So how do you distinguish the good from the bad? In this respect, young people must learn to think for themselves. Reflect constantly on events, people and ideas. Learn to see through people. Hold on to sound moral values and principles. These will definitely help you discriminate the good from the 'bad'.
    To "have the best interests of their children" necessarily means that

    A)  parents should do what teenagers want.

    B)  parents should do what is good for themselves.

    C)  parents should do what is good for teenagers.  

    D)  parents should be very strict with teenagers.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     In the passage, it is stated that teenagers are rude to their parents. Although parents do things that are in the best interests of their children, the teenagers do not understand that. It can therefore be concluded that choice [c] is the correct answer.
