Q6-10 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Among the biggest worries of working couples today is day care for children and, now, elders. While good day care centres, although expensive, are available for children, such facilities are absent for elders. Working couples constantly worry about the safety of the elderly at home. They shudder to think of accidents that can occur due to faulty electricity connection, cooking gas leakage and a slip in the bathroom, and dangers from service providers. In many instances, even people well known to aged couples have caused them harm. In my neighbourhood, a working couple had the responsibility of taking care of the 77-year-old father of the man, and their two-year-old child. They made arrangements with a good baby care centre to take care of the child. But they were constantly worried about the old man. He was not allowed to enter the kitchen or open the door for any stranger. Food, water, fruits, medicines and tea were neatly arranged in containers so that he did not have to struggle for anything. But making such arrangements meant spending more energy and time. The man and the woman called him twice a day to make sure whether everything was ok.
