Question

According to the passage, Mary Kom ______.

• A. doesnt believe in traditional values
• B. was only interested in martial arts as a child
• C. challenged the widely held clichd opinions about female boxers
• D. makes no bones about being a world champion in boxing

Answer 1

The correct option is C challenged the widely held clichd opinions about female boxers

"Today the boxing champion and mother of two, who defied many a stereotype, is setting up her own boxing academy along with taking care of her family and training for the 2016 Olympics. " - this statement from the passage helps us to deduce that Mary Kom as a sportswoman and boxer challenged the commonly held beliefs, that is, 'clinched opinions' about female boxers. A sportswoman can be a mother, take care of her family and can train at the same time. C is the answer.

The other options cannot be the answer as they do not fit the context.
