Question

Infer which "one” of the following words can you definitely associate with the word "emotions” as discussed in the passage?

• A. Eternal
• B. Momentary
• C. Rapid
• D. Fluctuating

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rapid

This is a tricky question. The question is "Which adjective you will definitely associate with "emotions”?
Look at these lines from the last but one paragraph.
"Each was eternal when I lost mindfulness and was absorbed in it, yet I see they come and go like the wind as the play of the cards changes.”
He says the emotions are eternal but yet they are fleeting (changing). So you need to associate both eternal and fluctuating with "emotions”. You cannot associate only one of them.
So options (a), (b) and (d) are all ruled out.
Option (c) is correct . The emotions are rapid. Rapid means fast. It doesn't mean that they change rapidly.
Look at these lines in the last paragraph -
"If I am making this sound exciting, it can indeed be when you are mindful enough to see this rapid play of emotion”.

The emotions are rapid. So option (c) is the correct answer.
