READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
One night, a saint had a dream of what he would be in his next life. So he called his reliable pupil and asked him what he would do for his teacher in return for all he had received. The pupil said he would do whatever his teacher asked him to do. Having received this promise, the saint said, Then this is what Id like you to do for me. Ive dreamed that when I die, which will be very soon, Im going to be reborn as a cat. Do you see that cat drinking milk there in the yard? Im going to be reborn as the second kitten of its next litter. Youll recognise me by a mark on my forehead. When that cat has littered, find the second kitten with a mark on its forehead and, with one stroke of your knife, slaughter it. Ill then be released from a cats life. Will you do this for me? The pupil was sad to hear all this, but he agreed to do as he had promised. Soon after this conversation, the guru did die. And the cat did have a litter of four little kittens. One day, the disciple sharpened his knife and picked out the second little kitten, which did indeed have a mark on its forehead. Just as he was about to bring down his knife to slit its throat, the little kitten suddenly spoke, Stop! Dont kill me. It screamed. Before the pupil could recover from the shock of hearing the little kitten speak in his teachers voice, it said, Dont kill me. I want to live on as a cat. When I asked you to kill me, I didnt know what a cats life would be like. Its great! Just let me go. I am happy as a kitten.

Read the passage and answer the question.

1. Daniel and Yvonne were twins. As they were boy and girl they were not identical, but they did look very similar. They both had dark hair, dark eyes and little dimples in their cheeks. When they were very small, you could not tell them apart. However, as they grew older, Yvonne's fringe grew lighter in colour and it was easier to tell them apart. Daniel had a small mole, just below his eye, and Yvonne did not. This was a good way to distinguish between them if they were both wearing hats!
2. Not only did they look similar, but they also liked similar things. When they went to school, they both loved playing cricket and they were both quite good at it too. Many of their friends thought Yvonne was definitely a better bowler than her brother, but they would never tell them this as the twins always had a strong onfield rivalry. If they had told Yvonne that she was better, she would have boasted. If they had told Daniel that Yvonne was better, he would have tried to catch her out and force her to make mistakes.
3. Generally, Daniel and Yvonne would always be on the same team. However, one day, Daniel and Yvonne were put on separate teams and had to compete against each other. Their friends worried that the two might fall out when one sibling's team inevitably beat the others. However, while they played they completely ignored each other's existence. The problem was that both played really strangely. It appeared that if they were not on the same team, they could not play to the best of their abilities. This is something that caused issues as they grew older, and they wanted to be considered for the school cricket teams. At school there was a boys' team, and a girls' team, but no mixed team. When they were not in the same team, Daniel and Yvonne could not play well enough and neither of them even made it through the try-outs for the school teams.

Choose the best title or heading for the passage.

AStaying Together
BTravelling for Cricket
CFamily Rivalry
DTeam Sports


The correct answer is "Staying Together"

Family Rivalry can also be a suitable title, if you ask me. Because that is mentioned a lot more than staying together, which is mentioned in only the last para. Hopefully, someone agrees with me.
