Q. One who eats everything.

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
Unfortunately, the reality hit me the next morning. I slept past the chirping of birds but was woken up by loud voices crossing my window every now and then. When I went to the kitchen to make myself some tea, a couple of tourists were peeping in through the glass door. Day trippers! The old-world charm of this village, with only 305 residents, was drowned by the callousness of visitors who only seemed to care about their photos and getting drunk, almost running over the locals in their rental cars, never realizing that they were intruding into someone’s sleepy neighborhood and life. My hosts assured me that the number of day trippers now was not nearly as bad as in the peak summer season, and joked about how the village residents, their homes and their kitchens must be curious, unfamiliar sights for tourists. If you’re on the same page, you’re probably thinking that an easy solution is that travel bloggers like me should never write about their “offbeat” finds. But as my social media followers often remind me, isn’t it part of my job to disclose the exact location of my stories and photos, so others can choose to experience my finds over ‘tourist traps’? I’ve dwelt on this dilemma for a long time. But walking on those cobblestoned streets in Istria (mostly at sunrise and late at night), it occurred to me that no, perhaps that isn’t the role a travel blogger is supposed to play. The way I see it now, my work as a travel blogger should inspire my readers to think of travel differently – to reconsider their travel choices, to seek local encounters, to carve out their own journey. It’s the reason I never have, and never will give you a three-day itinerary to “do” a destination. That’s not how I aspire for my readers to experience somewhere I’ve been and loved.

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:
One well-known description of parenting styles is based on the research of Diane Baumrind. Her early work focused on a careful longitudinal study of 100 (mostly European American, middle-class) preschool children. Through observation of children and parents and interviews with parents. Baumrind and the other researchers who built on her findings identified four parenting styles based on the parents' high or low levels of warmth and control.
Authoritative parents (high warmth, high control) set clear limits, enforce rules, and expect mature behavior. But they are warm with their children. They listen to concerns, give reasons for rules and allow more democratic decision-making. There is less strict punishment and more guidance Parents help children think through the consequences of their actions. Authoritarian parents (low warmth, high control) seem cold and controlling in their interactions with their children. The children are expected to be mature and to do what the parent says, "Because I said so" There is not much talk about emotions. Punishments are strict, but not abusive. The parents love their children, but they are not openly affectionate.
Permissive parents (high warmth, low control) are warm and nurturing, but they have few rules or consequences for their children and expect little in the way of mature behavior because They are just kids". Rejecting/Neglecting/uninvolved parents (low warmth, low control) don't seem to care at all and can't be bothered with controlling, communicating or teaching their children. Authoritarian, authoritative and permissive parents love their children and are trying to do their best; they simply have different ideas about the best ways to parent.
