Solution

The correct option is A It improves the intellect only.
Option A: As mentioned in the passage, "An education that brings up a young man in entire indifference to the misery and poverty surrounding him, to the general stringency of life, to the dumb pangs of tortured bodies and the lives submerged in the shadows, is essentially a failure."
Education brings up a young man in entire indifference to the misery surrounding him, and the severity of life. It only affects the intellect of man:
"Liberal education aims at producing moral gifts as well as intellectual, sweetness of temper as much as sanity of outlook."
Education helps the intellect and temper, but not the understanding of life. Hence option A is correct.
Options B, C and D: These lines are neither mentioned nor implied by the passage. Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
