Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) on your answer sheet
If you live in a big family, there might be a lot of drama between the family members. To get along, there are some important qualities. First, you have to be caring. You have to take care of your family members, do hard work to help your parents. Especially when your parents tell you to do something, just do it and don't make an excuse like “Why isn’t my brother doing it?”. If you do that, that's just another problem for your parents to deal with. Secondly, you have to be a patient person. For example, if your family has only one bathroom, you have to wait till it’s your turn. Don't complain or else it’s going to start a fight and that’s not good. Thirdly, be ready to share. If your mum comes home with a cookie, and there are two children, you’ll have to break it in halves. So don’t eat the cookie all by yourself. Finally, you need to be easy- going. If your mum buys your sister a new dress and you don’t get anything, don’t complain; just wear your old clothes. Use these qualities and you’ll get along with your family members in no time.
