Question

What is the irony mentioned in the passage?

• A. Parents considered their children as a burden when they were small
• B. The children who were taken care of by their parents find it difficult to take care of their parents in their old age
• C. All the children are happy to look after their parents
• D. Parents do not want to be taken care of by their children

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The children who were taken care of by their parents find it difficult to take care of their parents in their old age

The irony highlighted in the passage is that parents, who once cared for their children without considering them a burden, often find themselves in old age being cared for by their children, who may find it difficult or burdensome to reciprocate the care. This reversal of roles is the ironic situation described.
