- Question
To forgive an injury is often considered to be a sign of weakness; it is really a sign of strength. It is easy to allow oneself to be carried away by resentment and hate into an act of vengeance; but it takes a strong character to restrain those natural passions. The man who forgives an injury proves himself to be the superior of the man who wronged himself and puts the wrong-doer to shame.
The passage best supports' the statement that:
Options- A. the sufferer alone knows the intensity of his sufferings.
- B. people tend to forgive the things happened in the past.
- C. natural passions are difficult to suppress.
- D. mercy is the noblest form of revenge.
- E. a person with calm and composed nature has depth of thought and vision.
- Correct Answer
- mercy is the noblest form of revenge.
ExplanationThe passage discusses the concept of forgiveness, presenting it as a sign of strength rather than weakness. It contrasts forgiveness with vengeance, highlighting the difficulty in restraining natural passions such as resentment and hate. Here's the analysis of the options based on the passage:
- Option A - the sufferer alone knows the intensity of his sufferings:
- The passage does not focus on the intensity of the sufferer's suffering. Instead, it emphasizes the strength required to forgive and control negative emotions like resentment and hate. There is no direct reference to the sufferer?s understanding of their own suffering.
- This option is not supported by the passage.
- Option B - people tend to forgive the things happened in the past:
- The passage does not discuss people forgiving past wrongs in general. It talks about the strength involved in forgiving an injury and restraining negative emotions like resentment, but does not focus on the forgiveness of past events in a broad sense.
- This option is not directly supported by the passage.
- Option C - natural passions are difficult to suppress:
- The passage mentions that it is easy to be carried away by resentment and hate and that it requires strong character to restrain these natural passions. This directly supports the idea that natural passions are difficult to suppress.
- This option is strongly supported by the passage.
- Option D - mercy is the noblest form of revenge:
- The passage does not discuss mercy as a form of revenge. Instead, it focuses on forgiveness as a sign of strength and self-restraint, contrasting it with vengeance, but it does not frame forgiveness as revenge.
- This option is not supported by the passage.
- Option E - a person with calm and composed nature has depth of thought and vision:
- The passage does not explicitly discuss a person?s calm and composed nature in relation to depth of thought and vision. While it talks about strength of character in forgiving, it does not focus on the specific qualities of being calm and composed in the broader sense.
- This option is not directly supported by the passage.

More questions
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
The statement mentions that the candidates who have obtained second class Master's degree or have appeared for the final year examination of Master's degree, can apply for admission. This implies that both types of candidates may be selected on certain grounds. Thus, some candidates of each type and not all candidates of any one type, may be selected. So, neither I nor II follows.
Correct Answer: mayonnaise
Explanation:
Parsley, basil, and dill are types of herbs. Mayonnaise is not an herb.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
The statement indicates that the number of people travelling by air has increased in the recent years. This clearly implies that large number of people can now afford air travel. So, only II is implicit.
Correct Answer: poenforc
Explanation:
Migen means cup;
lasan means board;
poen means walk;
cuop means pull; and
dansa means man. The only possible choices, then, are choices a and d. Choice a can be ruled out because
migen means cup.
Correct Answer: celebration
Explanation:
A gala indicates a celebration, the necessary element here. A tuxedo (choice b) is not required garb at a gala, nor is an appetizer (choice c). A gala may be held without the benefit of anyone speaking (choice d).
Correct Answer: wasibako
Explanation:
In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From
godabim and
romzbim, you can determine that bim means kidney. From
romzbim and
romzbako, you can determine that
romz means beans. Therefore,
bako means wax. Because the adjective wax must come after the noun in this language,
wasibako is the only choice.
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, A advises B to join Y because it provides good Accounts education. So, I is implicit. It is not mentioned whether B listens to A's advice or not. So, II is not implicit.
Correct Answer: Only either II or III follows
Explanation:
Clearly, the private sector banks have done so to attract more and more customers of public sector banks. Thus, public sector banks should either reduce the rate of interest to match with that of private sector banks or highlight those features which make them stand apart from private sector banks. So, either II or III follows.
Correct Answer: research : learn
Explanation:
One explores to discover; one researches to learn.
Correct Answer: legal authorization
Explanation:
The second and third sentence combine to give support to choice a. The statement stresses that there must be a judge's approval (i.e., legal authorization) before a search can be conducted. Choices b and d are wrong because it is not enough for the police to have direct evidence or a reasonable belief?a judge must authorize the search for it to be legal. Choices c and e are not mentioned in the passage.
