the answer should be B (Question: 187013.3 )

the answer given is wrong , as it is the narrator that believes it facilitates the mind not the whole world.

Question:
DIRECTIONS: you have brief passages with 10 questions each following each passage. Read the passages carefully and chose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives


Comfort is now one of the causes of its own spread. It has now become a physical habit, a fashion, an ideal to be pursued for its own sake. The more comfort is brought into the world, the more it is likely to be valued. To those who have known comfort, discomfort is a real torture. The fashion which now decreases the worship of comfort is quite as imperious as any other fashion. Moreover, enormous material interests are bound up with the supply of means of comfort. The manufacturers of furniture, of heating apparatus, of plumbing fixtures cannot afford to let the love of comfort die. In modern advertisement they have found a means for compelling it to live and grow. A man of means today, who builds a house, is in general concerned primarily with the comfort of his future residence, he will spend a great deal of money on both rooms, heating apparatus, furnishings, and having spent he will regard his house as perfect. His counterpart in an earlier age would have been primarily concerned with the impressiveness and magnificence of his dwelling with beauty, in a word, rather than comfort. The money our contemporary would spend on baths and central heatings would have been spent on marble staircases, frescoes, pictures and statues. I am inclined to think that our present passion for comfort is a little exaggerated. Though I personally enjoy comfort, I have lived most happily in house devoid of everything that anglo-saxon deem indispensable. However, comfort for me has justification; it facilitates mental life. Discomfort handicaps thought; it is difficult to use the mind when the body is cold and aching.
