Question

At meetings, we believe we shall be judged by the ________________________

• A. number of questions we put to the speaker
• B. noise we make while others are speaking
• C. volume of words we contribute
• D. amount of ideas we absorb from others

Answer 1

The correct option is C volume of words we contribute

Option C: As mentioned in the passage, "We tend to believe that at meetings we will be judged by the amount we contribute with regard to the sheer volume of words...". Option C also mentions the same: 'we shall be judged by the volume of words we contribute'.

Hence option C is correct.

Options A, B and D: These lines are neither mentioned nor implied in the passage, in relation to the given line.

Option D states the opposite of the line 'rather than by how much we absorb from others'.

Hence these options are wrong.
