Question Description
Group QuestionThe passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.Much of the tragical lore of the infant mortality, the malnutrition, and the five-in-a-room morality of the citys poor is written in statistics, and thestatistical path to the heart is more figurative than literal. Gertie Slayback was statistically down as a woman wage-earner; a sorry case among the thousands of the Borough of Manhattan; and her twice-a-day share in the Subway fares collected in the present year. She was a very atomic one of the citys four millions. But after all, what are the kings and peasants, poets and draymen, but great, greater, or greatest, less, lesser, or least atoms of us? If not of the least, Gertie Slayback was of the very lesser. When she unlocked the front door to her rooming-house of evenings, there was no one to expect her, except on Tuesdays, which evening it so happened her week was up. And when she left of mornings with her breakfast crumblessly cleared up and the box of biscuit and condensed-milk can tucked unsuspectedly behind her camisole in the top drawer there was no one to regret her. There are some who call this freedom. Again there are those for whom one spark of home fire burning would light the world.Gertie Slayback was one of those. Half a life-time of opening her door upon this or that desert-aisle of hall bedroom had not taught her heart how not to sink or the feel of daily rising in one such room to seem less like a damp bathing-suit, donned at dawn. The only picture which adorned Miss Slaybacks dun-colored walls was a passe-partout snowscape, night closing in, and pink cottage windows peering out from under eaves. She could visualize that interior as if she had only to turn the frame for the smell of wood fire and the snap of pine logs and for the scene of two high-back chairs and the wooden crib between. What a fragile, gracile thing is the mind that can leap thus from nine bargain basement hours of hairpins and darning-balls to the downy business of lining a crib in Never-Never Land and warming No Mans slippers before the fire of imagination. There was that picture so acidly etched into Miss Slaybacks brain that she had only to close her eyes in the slit-like sanctity of her room and in the brief moment of courting sleep feel the pink penumbra of her vision begin to glow.Q. Among the following options, the author of the passage is likely to disagree with which of the following?a)Statistics seem to exaggerate the hardships faced by Manhattans poor.b)Gertie Slayback was satisfied with the freedom that living alone offered her.c)Much of humanity is diminutive in scale when compared to a city.d)Gertie Slayback was not indifferent to the monotony of her lifestyle.Correct answer is option 'B'.
