Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #34071 Bangladesh
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Then, the author again uses the method of intrigue. He notices that the following information will be more interesting than the previous abstracts. This helps him to maintain readers’ attention throughout the whole article and provide newsworthy data. Here, J. Sachs speaks about women’s attitudes toward children. In fact, most women in Bangladesh have or want to have 1-2 children. None of them desire to have many kids. Such a position is very similar to the outlook of developed countries. This fact witnesses the other similarity between Bangladesh and prosperous states. In addition, it shows that Bangladesh has all the chances to become even more successful. The author represents this story in a very detailed way. Such great attention to trifles forms the atmosphere of reality and informality in the article. As a result, readers begin to treat the narrator favorably and believe in the truthfulness of his words. Then, the author presents a conclusion in the form of a thesis. He picked all the main statements and summaries from the article and concentrate them logically and comprehensively. Such a simple structure allows a better understanding of key concepts and the main idea of the article. J. Sachs ends the article with the metaphor. He says that Bangladesh managed to put its legs on the ladder and now continues to climb every year. At the beginning of the article, he compared Bangladesh with the ‘international basket case”. However, in the end, Bangladesh looks like a worthy and developed country.

Option 4: "The main changes in the life of the country are connected with the idea of changed child-bearing conceptions amongst the Bangladeshi women."

Explanation: This option is correct as it directly reflects the main idea of the text. The author emphasizes how women's attitudes toward having fewer children represent a significant change in Bangladesh, linking it to broader societal progress and potential for development.

Option 1: "Bangladesh is undeveloped country."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not support the idea that Bangladesh is an undeveloped country. Instead, it highlights the positive changes and potential for success in Bangladesh, particularly in relation to women's attitudes toward childbearing.

Option 2: "In the near future, all this will help Bangladesh to become a strong and prosperous country."

Explanation: While the text suggests that Bangladesh has the potential to become more successful, it does not explicitly state that this will happen in the near future. The focus is more on current changes rather than future predictions.

Option 3: "People begin to set new priorities and follow new manners of living."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text specifically discusses women's attitudes toward childbearing rather than a broader change in priorities or lifestyles among the general population.
