Answer should be b

Question:

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


Journalists argue over functions of a newspaper. I feel that a provincial paper's purpose is not only to present and project the news objectively and imaginatively but also to help its readers to express themselves more effectively canalizing their aspirations making more articulate their demands. A newspaper should reflect the community it serves - warts and all. When the mirror is held to society it reveals neglect injustice ignorance or complacency. It should help to eradicate them. It would be pretentious to think that a newspaper cart change the course of world affairs - but at the local limit it can exert influence it can probe it can help get things done. The individual's voice must not be stifled. Instead the readers should be encouraged to express their opinions fears hopes and their grievances on this platform.  

The expression “warts and all” in the passage means

Options:
A)

Hopes and fears

B)

With no attempt to conceal blemishes and inadequacies

C)

The community's problems

D)

The reader's grievances

Solution:

Ans: (d)

Yes student
I think (b) too is the correct answer
Option (c) and (a) are also fairly closer to each other
But I think the menaing of "Warts and all" is more closer to option (b)
