Unit-6, Lesson-4 থেকে Question No. 1 এর A থেকে ১০টি MCQ ও উত্তর
1. Read the passage and answer question A.
When Shilpi heard about those risks, she invited her husband Rashid to discuss pregnancy with a counsellor. After hearing about the risks, Rashid agreed to delay having children for five years despite pressures from his parents and neighbours to produce an offspring. Together the couple met with a female health care provider, who informed them about the various family planning options available. Shilpi’s mother-in-law and neighbours continued to pressurize the newlyweds. Deeply rooted cultural practices and traditions caused a rift between Shilpi and Rashid and their extended family, some of whose members insulted and criticized the couple. Unable to convince their close relatives of the risks, Shilpi and Rashid returned to the counsellor. They took the help of a parent peer who has been trained to speak to other parents about adolescent issues. Shilpi’s mother-in-law and neighbours eventually came to understand the harmful effects of early pregnancy on mother and child.
Today the village no longer pressurizes the couple; their parents and neighbours now support them and speak out against early marriage and pregnancy.
