how can you come to that deduction. (Question:265381.4)

it means that they were very much satisfied even though they were very much by today's stander.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.

Faith in progress is deep within our culture. We have been taught to believe that our lives are better than that of those who came before us. The ideology of modern economics suggests that material progress has yielded enhanced satisfaction and well-being. But much of our confidence about our own well being comes from the assumption that our lives are easier than those of earlier generations.

The lives of the so called primitive people are thought to be harsh-their existence dominated by the 'incessant' quest of food. In fact, Primitives did very little work. By contemporary standards we'd have to judge them very lazy.

the key to understanding why these 'stone age people' failed to act like us- increasing their work effort to get more things- is that they had limited desires. In the race between wanting and having, they had kept their wanting low- and, in this way ensured their own kind of satisfaction. They were materially poor by contemporary standards, but in at least one dimension time, we have to count them richer.

 How does the writer appreciate the primitives?

Options:
A)

 they have a low degree of wants

B)

 they are the masters of their time owing to their contentedness

C)

 they are materially poor

D)

 they are highly satisfied

Solution:

As per the passage:- “They were materially poor by contemporary standards, but in at least one dimension time, we have to count them richer.” So B is the answer.
