According to the given information, Mr. and Mrs. Paramesvara have sixteen children living in their home. The reason for this is that they adopted every child orphaned by the tsunami.
Based on the information provided, the correct option is likely number 3: their children died, but they adopted sixteen orphans. To confirm this, we can analyze the given statement and eliminate the other options.
- Option 1: "Three of their children died in the tsunami" contradicts this option.
- Option 2: "They did not lose a single child in the tsunami" contradicts this option.
