Safety valve is used to remove extra energy.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In questions below you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


Long ago Emerson wrote- “A man’s task is his life-preserver.” This seems to be remarkably correct in our modern life. The man without task is like a ship without a ballast and anchor, he is all too often merely a drifter. Few men seem to have initiative enough to choose a task for themselves if they do not need to work. When the inevitable disappointments come, as they assuredly will, they are completely overwhelmed. But the man who has his task has no time for vain regret, he escapes the disastrous fate which overtakes his less fortunate brother. Work is one of the greatest safety-valves which was ever invented, and youth especially needs it.

Options:
A) something which blows up safety
B) an outlet for rent-up energy
C) something which guarantees safety
D) a leaf of a folding door
Solution:

Ans: (c)
