| Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

What work for one person may not work for any other person because people have different talents and aptitudes.

The children have no experience of the real life, hence they take a fresh look of everything in life. They may be guided by the experiences of their parents but they are also guided by the experiences of other people and by their own desires, talents and aptitudes. They want to experiment with their life and discover their own path. However, parents love their children so much that they don’t want them to suffer failure. They want them to be safe by following their path which is tested by them. This difference of opinion gives rise to the so-called generation gap. 1.
