A is the answer

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.


The highbrows reverse the numerical arguments and imply that, because they are so few, they must therefore be right but where they chiefly offend is in their excessive self-congratulation and contempt for others. In the past, the highbrows were alone in expressing a feeling of superiority; the lowbrows humbly accepted the position assigned to them. Recently, however, there has been a change, and the lowbrows now adopt towards the highbrows the same attitude as the highbrows adopted towards them.

‘The reversal of the numerical argument’ in the context of the passage means that the highbrows:

Options:
A) have no regard for the majority
B) respect the majority
C) are indifferent to numbers
D)

have regard for the minority

Solution:
Ans: (c) The answer is implied in the first line of passage.

Both A and D should be the possible answers. Because they are basically misusing their minority and not respecting the majority. Also, if they are not respecting the majority, it clearly implies that they are indifferent to the numbers of lowbrows.
