D (Question: 398234.5 )

D should be the correct answer

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark the correct Answer.


Man who is believed to have evolved from apes, is a curious mixture of varied motives. He is not only the subject of needs but is also their creater. He not only seeks to satisfy his needs but also caters to his desire for beauty and grace. He is eager to satisfy his passion for more and more knowledge. Although in a general way, the maxim 'necessity is the mother of invention' is true, it is by no means the whole truth. Man is something much greater than an intelligent being using his intellect to make newer inventions from time to time. He has within him a spirit which is ever exhorting him to cut down his needs and learn to be happy with what he has. The real purpose underlying this maxim lies in its utility in the worldly sense. It tells us to be up and doing, not to be passive in our attitude to life. It asks us not to remain slaves of old habits and ways of life. We must face the new situations with a creative mind. Every new difficulty, every new problem, which confronts us in life can be tackled successfully with the spirit of inventiveness.

Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of man, as per the passage?

Options:
A)

Man has many needs and motives 

B)

Man creates many needs for himself 

C)

Man seeks to satisfy his needs 

D)

Man desires to have more and more comforts and money

Solution:

Ans: (b)

Dear Student
If we read the 2nd line of the given paragraph we can infer very easily that (b) is not the correct option.
The 2nd line goes as follows
HE IS NOT ONLY THE SUBJECT OF NEEDS BUT IS ALSO THEIR CREATOR.
Thus this statement is clearly refuting the marked answer.
According to the paragraph the gist that can be inferred that
A passionate Human being ultimately tries to upgrade himself in every sitaution
He can enjoy comfort for time being but doesn't enjoy being stuck their for too long as he has his own worldly and created desires to satisfy
Student, study anthropological topics more as it would be a very good exercise for you to handle these kinds of RC's
