(C) to repent for what is happening: Incorrect, there is no mention of repentance in the passage.
(D) childhood: Correct — The passage clearly states that old people say childhood is the best part of life.

The correct answer is (D) childhood, as explicitly mentioned in the passage.

Answer 2

Step 1: Understanding the passage.
The passage states that "A child’s troubles may seem small to grown-ups but they are very big to him." This clearly shows that the troubles appear big to the child himself.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) To a father: Incorrect, the passage says troubles seem small to grown-ups, which includes the father.
(B) To a mother: Incorrect for the same reason, to a mother the troubles seem small.
(C) To a child: Correct, as the troubles feel very big to the child himself.
(D) To his/her friend: Incorrect, the passage does not mention this.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The troubles appear big to the child himself, so the correct answer is (C).

Answer 3

Step 1: Identifying the word.
In the passage, the word "endless" was used to describe the discussions among friends. The opposite meaning of "endless" is something that has an end or limit.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) continuous: Incorrect, as it has a similar meaning to endless.
(B) finite: Correct, because finite means having limits or an end, which is the opposite of endless.
(C) speedy: Incorrect, as it refers to quickness, not the opposite of endless.
(D) tiredness: Incorrect, this refers to fatigue and has no relation to endless.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct opposite of endless is finite, so the answer is (B).
