1. There are essentially three types of parents. The first type of
parent acts like a consultant who provides loving and logical
guidance for his/her child. The second type of parent is called
the helicopter because this parent hovers over the child
constantly. The helicopter parent tries to protect the child by
making all decisions, implying that the child is not capable of
handling any responsibility. The last type of parent is the drill
sergeant who commands and directs the life of the child. This
parent makes a lot of demands and tells the child how he
should handle responsibility.​

enumeration

Explanation:

Enumeration is a text-type that provides a list of items with equal importance, organized through bullet points or numbers. The items don´t have to necessarily be listed as first, second, and third, any list of facts is an enumeration. It should not be confused with classification, which links related items with similar features. Furthermore, since there is no notion of time in the list, the text cannot be considered as a Chronological Organization type of text.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
