what is the main idea conveyed in this excerpt from nick hornby's fever pitch?
my parents were separated by 1968. my father had met someone else and moved out, and i lived with my mother and my sister in a small detached house in the home counties. this state of affairs was unremarkable enough in itself (although i cannot recall anyone else in my class with an absent parent - the sixties took another seven or eight years to travel the twenty-odd miles down the m4 from london), but the break-up had wounded all four of us in various ways, as break-ups are wont to do.
there were, inevitably, a number of difficulties that arose from this new phase of family life, although the most crucial in this context was probably the most banal: the commonplace but nevertheless intractable one-parent saturday-afternoon-at the zoo problem. often dad was only able to visit us midweek; no one really wanted to stay in and watch tv, for obvious reasons, but on the other hand there wasn't really anywhere else a man could take two children under twelve. usually the three of us drove to a neighbouring town, or up to one of the airport hotels, where we sat in a cold and early-evening deserted restaurant, and where gill and i ate steak or chicken, one or the other, in more or less complete silence (children are not great dinner conversationalists, as a rule, and in any case we were used to eating with the 60 tv on), while dad watched. he must have been desperate to find something else to do with us, but the options in a commuter-belt town between 6.30 and 9.00 on a monday night were limited.
1. children are expected to eat in complete silence.
2. fathers are not good at making conversation with children.
3. marriage difficulties adversely affect parent-child communication.
4. children always blame the father when their parents separate.

Read the following short excerpt of student writing. use your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to determine which suggestions you would make to improve his or her grammar and word choice. i really thought she loved me but i discovered her grave betrayal one afternoon. it was easy to figure out because she accidentally sent a text to me that was meant for him. i was confused by the text because it said, "don't tell mike." i felt insulted that she thought she could get away with this infidelity. at first i felt very angry bitter and hateful but then i felt so hopeless and depressed. i longed for her to call me. i thought if i could just hear her pleasing voice, maybe then i would not be filled with such bitterness. instead of calling her i talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain. talking with her makes me feel euphoric. i think i may be on the road to recovery. what word would you suggest to replace the underlined word or words in this excerpt? instead of calling her, i talked to another friend who is (good at listening and feeling my pain). talking with her makes me feel euphoric. amorous sentimental empathetic grave
