Question

53. Read the paragraph carefully and determine the main point the author is trying to make. What conclusion can be drawn from the argument? Each paragraph is followed by four statements. One statement supports the author's argument better than the others do.
One Delhi publisher has estimated that 50,000 to 60,000 people in the India want an anthology that includes the complete works of William Shakespeare. And what accounts for this renewed interest in Shakespeare? As scholars point out, his psychological insights into both male and female characters are amazing even today.
This paragraph best supports the statement that

• A. Shakespeare's characters are more interesting than fictional characters today.
• B. People even today are interested in Shakespeare's work because of the characters.
• C. Academic scholars are putting together an anthology of Shakespeare's work.
• D. Delhiites have a renewed interested in the work of Shakespeare.

Answer 1

The correct option is B People even today are interested in Shakespeare's work because of the characters.

The last sentence in the paragraph clearly gives support for the idea that the interest in Shakespeare is due to the development of his characters. Choice a is incorrect because the writer never makes this type of comparison. Choice c is wrong because even though scholars are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication that the scholars are compiling the anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is no support to show that most Delhiites are interested in this work.
