Confusion (Question:27978.3)

How can we deduce from the passage that careful use of words may bring us profit but not friends

Question:

DIRECTION: Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.


Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellows, it can also if we use it carelessly make our attitudes completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word or of an ambiguous word may create an enemy where we have hoped to win a friend- Again different classes of people use different vocabularies and the ordinary speech of an educated man may strike an uneducated listener as showing pride; unwillingly we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listeners from what it does to men of our own class. Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought but one which demands careful handling, only a fool will express himself alike to all.

The passage reveals that?
Options:
A) The use of ambiguous and unusual words brings us friends.
B) Careless use of words creates enemies.
C) Careful use of words may brings us profit but not friend .
D) Careful use of words may bring us profit but not friends.
Solution:
Ans: (D)

"Careful use of words may bring us profit but not friends" is what we will comprehend from the passage.
