Read the text and choose the best answer a, b or c. Only one choice is correct.
BOYS AND GIRLS
Boys tend to play outside, in large groups that are hierarchically structured. Their groups have a leader who tells others
what to do and how to do it, and resists doing what other boys propose. It is by giving orders that high status is negotiated. Another
way boys achieve status is to take centre stage by telling stories and jokes, and by challenging the stories and jokes of others. Boys’
games have winners and losers and elaborate systems of rules that are frequently the subjects of arguments. Finally, boys are
frequently heard to boast about their skills, likes and possessions, and argue about who is best at what.
Girls, on the other hand, play in small groups or pairs. The centre of a girl’s social life is her best friend. Within the group,
intimacy is the key: differentiation is measured by relative closeness. In their most frequent games, such as jump rope and
hopscotch, everyone gets a turn. Many of their activities (such as playing with dolls) do not have winners or losers. Although some
girls are certainly more skilled than others, girls are expected not to boast about it, or show that they think they are better than the
others. Girls don’t give orders: they express their preferences as suggestions, and suggestions are likely to be accepted.
