Question 91.A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and
click the button corresponding to it.

My mom grew up in a traditional Chinese family in which open expressions of love were never encouraged. When she had me and my three siblings, she treated us
with the same hard hand. It was not that she was a slave driver or anything, but she never openly showed affection. Instead, she demonstrated that she cared in
more practical ways.

My parents couldn't have been more different emotionally. My dad is a really open­hearted person who constantly showers us with hugs and kisses no matter the
occasion. After much persuasion from him, my mother did try to change, but it was clear that she never felt quite right expressing her emotions. Eventually, she
reverted to her old self.

The difference between my parents was never starker than whenever I brought home good test results from school. My dad would practically jump with joy, offering
warm and affectionate words of congratulations, and my mother? "Ah, good, good" she would typically say with a tense smile etched on her face. "Do better next
time, OK?"

I tried not to hold a grudge against her for being so reserved. That was just her way. I reasoned.

Why did the narrator not bear a grudge against her mother?
1) She felt that her mother had that kind of nature
2) She was satisfied with her father's love
3) Her mother was incapable of loving

Question 92.A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and
click the button corresponding to it.

My mom grew up in a traditional Chinese family in which open expressions of love were never encouraged. When she had me and my three siblings, she treated us
with the same hard hand. It was not that she was a slave driver or anything, but she never openly showed affection. Instead, she demonstrated that she cared in
more practical ways.

My parents couldn't have been more different emotionally. My dad is a really open­hearted person who constantly showers us with hugs and kisses no matter the
occasion. After much persuasion from him, my mother did try to change, but it was clear that she never felt quite right expressing her emotions. Eventually, she
reverted to her old self.

The difference between my parents was never starker than whenever I brought home good test results from school. My dad would practically jump with joy, offering
warm and affectionate words of congratulations, and my mother? "Ah, good, good" she would typically say with a tense smile etched on her face. "Do better next
time, OK?"

I tried not to hold a grudge against her for being so reserved. That was just her way. I reasoned.

The narrator's mother reverted to her old self because
1) she fought with her husband
2) she did not feel comfortable in revealing her emotions
3) she was angry with the children
4) her husband wanted her to be her old self
Correct Answer: she did not feel comfortable in revealing her emotions
Candidate Answer: her husband wanted her to be her old self
