Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
When I was younger, I hated being the eldest child and the only girl in my family. But now I am
older, I realize that being 'Big Sister' actually has its advantages. First of all, I get special treatment from
my parents and brothers. I get my own room, and brothers have to do all the heavy work around the
house. Another benefit is that, being the eldest, I have learned to be responsible and dependable. For
example, my parents often leave my brothers in my care when they go out. I also try my best in
whatever I do in order to be a good example for my brothers. The experience I've had in taking care of
my brothers has prepared me for my own family in the future. So, even though I didn't choose to be the
eldest child and the only girl in my family, I have succeeded in making this situation work to my best
advantage.
