Question:
DIRECTIONS: In questions, you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


Our awareness of time has reached such a pitch of intensity that we suffer acutely whenever our travels take us unto some corner of the world where people are not interested in minutes and seconds. The unpunctuality of the orient, for example, is appalling to those who come freshly from a land of fixed meal-times and regular train services. For a modern American or English-man, waiting is a psychological torture. An Indian accepts the blank hours with resignation, even with satisfaction. He has not lost the fine art of doing nothing. Our notion of time as a collection of minutes, each of which must be filled with some business or amusement, is wholly alien to the Greek. For the man who lives in a pre-industrial world, time moves at a slow and easy pace, he does not care about each minute, for the good reason that he has not been made conscious of the existence.

The ‘Orient’ in the passage refers to:

Options:
A) China and Japan
B) Japan and England
C) England and America
D) America alone
