Who in your family decides what is to be bought from the market?
In most families, decisions about market purchases are made either by parents jointly, or by the member who manages household finances. In some families, the mother decides on groceries and daily needs, while the father may decide on larger purchases. In joint families, elders like grandparents may also be involved in such decisions.
Explanation
This question on page 4 relates to the section on 'Roles and Responsibilities' in the chapter. The chapter explains that each member of the family has a role and responsibility towards other members. Parents are responsible for raising children and managing household needs. The question encourages students to observe and understand how responsibilities are distributed in their own families.
