Question

Sixteen-year-old Salim has an ailing mother. He quit school three months ago when she was diagnosed with a permanent sickness. Her sickness was caused due to her indulgence in drugs for a long time. Ever since then, Salim had been looking for a job but could not find one. Money is running thin in the house.

What kind of problems do you think Salim and his mother are facing?

• A. Withdrawal symptoms of Salim's mother
• B. Salim's drug addiction
• C. Salim and his mother's poverty
• D. Salim's inability to find a job

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Salim's inability to find a job

Salim's mother's indulgence in drugs has cost her, her job and her health. It may be possible that some of the saved money had gone into the drugs, so there is nothing saved up after she quit her job. Salim, on the other hand, is physically and mentally fit, yet he is unable to find any job.
