Question:
DIRECTIONSRead the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. 


What, one wonders, is the lowest common denominator of Indian culture today? The attractive Hema Malini? The songs of Vividh Bharati? Or the mouth-watering Masala Dosa? Delectable as these may be, each yields pride of place to that false symbol of a new era-the synthetic fiber. In less than twenty years the nylon sari and the terylene shirt have swept the countryside, penetrated to the farthest corners of the land and persuaded every common man, woman and child that the key to success in the present day world lies in artificial fibres: glass nylon, crepe nylon, tery mixes, polegesters and what have you. More than the bicycles the wristwatch or the transistor radio, synthetic clothes have come to represent the first step away from the village square. The village less treasures the flashy nylon sari in her trousseau most lovingly shirt and trousers, the nearest he can approximate to the expensive synthetic sported by his wealthy city bred contemporaries. And the Neo-rich craze for phoren is nowhere more apparent that in the price that people will pay for smuggled, stolen, begged or borrowed second hand or thrown away synthetics. Alas, even the unique richness of the traditional tribal costume is being fast eroded by the deadening uniformity of nylon.

The tone of the passage is:
Options:
A) Tragic
B) Ironic
C) Sombre
D) Satiric
Solution:
Ans: (b)Ironic
