Passage One
The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other’ s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kinds of thought communication.
What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins’ intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in a deprived home, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.
Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain in comprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separa
A. the family where the parents are divorced
B. the family which is in poor condition
C. the family where the children are less educated
D. all of the above
