Andrea's six-year-old brother, Martin, was always irritating her. He would follow her around the house wherever she went. He would ask her what she was doing several times a minute, even when she was only sitting and reading a book or playing with her phone. If Andrea asked for spaghetti at dinner, Martin had to have the same food. He took clothes from her closet without permission, tried them on, and wanted to wear them to school before their mother stopped him. He begged Andrea to take him when she went to meet her friends, but even though she repeatedly refused, he was so persistent that their mother made Andrea take him with her.
One day, Andrea came back home to find her geography book had been destroyed: Martin had taken it and written his name on every page in red paint, so the book was so wet and sticky with paint it could no longer be used. "That's it!" Andrea shrieked. "This is the last straw, Martin! You are never coming anywhere near me or my things again!"
Martin stood and stared at her with tears in his eyes. He tried to say something, but Andrea's fury was so intimidating that he was too afraid to talk. She slammed her door and decided she would never talk to him again.
A few hours later, when Andrea came downstairs for dinner, she was shocked to find the kitchen had been decorated with balloons, and there was a chocolate cake on the table with her name on it.
"It's not my birthday," she said, bewildered.
"Mom helped me to do it for you," said Martin, stepping in from behind her. Andrea turned around to look at him. "I'm sorry about your book," he said, with tears in his eyes again. "I only did it because I wanted you to remember me when you're in class. I'm sorry." Andrea hugged him, and they made up at once.
What is most likely the reason that Martin did all the things that made Andrea so angry, such as following her around and wearing her clothes?

Quiz
The human eye has two types of cells responsible for vision: rod cells, which are responsible for night vision, and cone cells, which are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light. Therefore, it is much more difficult to see color in the darkness. There are three types of cone cells, each type responsible for a different range of colors.
Color blindness is the disability to distinguish between all or specific colors. Some people are completely color blind, which means they cannot see colors at all, but this is extremely rare. Usually, only one type of the cone cells is problematic, and therefore, color blind people can usually still see some color. Among those who have a decreased ability to tell the difference between certain colors, there are two major groups: those who have difficulty distinguishing between red and green, which is the most common condition and affects about 80% of color-blind people, and those who have difficulty distinguishing between blue and yellow.
Color blindness is a hereditary trait which is more common among men. Around 8% of men and 0.5% of women have this trait. Color blindness may also be non-hereditary and occur as a result of a disease, such as diabetes.
There is no cure for color blindness. However, there are special glasses that allow people with red-green color blindness to see colors in bright light. The glasses were originally developed to help surgeons see more clearly in the operating room. The fact that they could help color-blind people, as well, was discovered by chance when scientist Don McPherson was wearing the glasses while playing ultimate Frisbee with his friend. McPherson's friend asked to borrow his eyewear, and as he put them on, he was amazed by his sudden ability to see color. McPherson then went ahead to perform research on color blindness, and after some small adjustments, began to sell the glasses to the public.
Which of the following is likely, according the passage?
Quiz
Amy's dismay can be imagined, when, the very evening before the fair, as she was putting the last touches to her pretty table, Mrs. Chester, who, of course, resented the supposed ridicule of her daughter, said, in a bland tone, but with a cold look, "I find, dear, that there is some feeling among the young ladies about my giving this table to anyone but my girls. As this is the most prominent, and some say the most attractive table of all, and they are the chief getters-up of the fair, it is thought best for them to take this place. I'm sorry, but I know you are too sincerely interested in the cause to mind a little personal disappointment, and you shall have another table if you like."
Mrs. Chester fancied beforehand that it would be easy to deliver this little speech, but when the time came, she found it rather difficult to utter it naturally, with Amy's unsuspicious eyes looking straight at her full of surprise and trouble.
Amy felt that there was something behind this, but would not guess what, and said quietly, feeling hurt, and showing that she did, "Perhaps you had rather I took no table at all?"
"Now, my dear, don't have any ill feeling, I beg. It's merely a matter of expediency, you see, my girls will naturally take the lead, and this table is considered their proper place. I think it very appropriate to you, and feel very grateful for your efforts to make it so pretty, but we must give up our private wishes, of course, and I will see that you have a good place elsewhere. Wouldn't you like the flower table? The little girls undertook it, but they are discouraged. You could make a charming thing of it, and the flower table is always attractive, you know."
"Especially to gentlemen," added May, with a look which enlightened Amy as to one cause of her sudden fall from favor. She colored angrily, but took no other notice of that girlish sarcasm, and answered with unexpected amiability, "It shall be as you please, Mrs. Chester. I'll give up my place here at once, and attend to the flowers, if you like."
"You can put your own things on your own table, if you prefer," began May, feeling a little conscience-stricken, as she looked at the pretty racks, the painted shells, and quaint illuminations Amy had so carefully made and so gracefully arranged. She meant it kindly, but Amy mistook her meaning, and said quickly, "Oh, certainly, if they are in your way," and sweeping her contributions into her apron, pell-mell, she walked off, feeling that herself and her works of art had been insulted past forgiveness.
"Now she's mad. Oh, dear, I wish I hadn't asked you to speak, Mama," said May, looking disconsolately at the empty spaces on her table.
"Girls' quarrels are soon over," returned her mother, feeling a trifle ashamed of her own part in this one, as well she might.
("Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott)
