Option C could also be correct (Question: 238271.1 )

Option C could also be correct

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


Failure and success are the ways of life. Constant efforts despite initial setbacks have brought us from the chrysalis of failures into the bright opportunity of triumphs. The conquest of Everest is a fitting example. Success eluded men for nearly twenty five years. The leader of an unsuccessful expedition stated, "Everest cannot add to its height, but spirit of man heightens even under repulse." Subsequent conquest of Everest has proved the truth of this. Indeed every newborn day is in itself an opportunity teeming with splendid chances for those who are alert, wide awake and aspiring.

In this passage, 'chrysalis of failure means that:

Options:
A) Failure involves a closed situation from which one cannot escape
B) Failure can be compared to the pupa of the gold-coloured butterflies
C) Failure is a transitional state
D) As an insect emerges in a different shape from chrysalis, so a human being changes after every failure
Solution:
Ex: Chrysalis means the form of an insect, especially a butterfly or moth, while it is changing into an adult inside a hard case- here in the context of the passage it is talking about its effort of surpass or transcend its form.
