The question requires that we fill up the blank spaces with the correct words. Find the completed passage below:

  • British people have a reputation for being rather quiet and reserved. However, a new study has (1) <u>revealed</u>  that Britons are actually quite sociable and the (2) <u>average</u> person claims to have 14 close friends. Although a  minority of those questioned (3) <u>admitted</u> that they had no best friend, a quarter said that they had more than 18  close friends. Experts said that this is (4) <u>due</u> to changes in the way people (5) <u>spend</u> their free time. They are  now more (6) <u>likely</u> to invite friends to their homes or go out socializing than previous generations. The  increasing use of mobile phones and emails has also made it easier to (7) <u>keep up with</u> a greater number of friendships.  Men's relationships are not (8) <u>deep</u> though they tend to have more friends. Women, (9) <u>on the other hand</u> prefer to  have a small number of friends they can trust (10) <u>t</u><u>o</u><u>tally</u>, and with whom they can feel completely at (11) <u>ease</u>.  The idea that people in the north of England are more neighborly than those in the south seems to be backed  (12) <u>up</u> by the survey. However, despite having friends, it seems that family still (13) <u>plays</u> an important part  in most people's lives. When asked who they would (14) <u>turn</u> to for help if they were ill or had a problem, the  majority said that they would (15) <u>call</u> upon a relative first rather than a friend.

It is fair to ask siblings to step into the role of parents. If a parent isn’t doing their job right as a parent, asking an older sibling may be essential to help yourself grow to be a well functioning individual. It also doesn’t have to be an older sibling, younger siblings can be capable of helping they’re older siblings. It is most common for older siblings to help they’re younger siblings.
