Question

Mr. Sharma stayed on to fight the tigress because _______________________.

• A. he wanted to try to protect his wife and daughter
• B. he was a strong man who loved fighting
• C. he couldn't run as quickly as his wife
• D. the tigress caught him before he could run

Answer 1

The correct option is A he wanted to try to protect his wife and daughter

Option A is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'He told his wife and daughter to run towards a nearby road, while he stepped to fight the tigress with a knife.'

The tigress had approached Mr. Sharma and would likely then turn onto his wife and daughter so to safeguard the two he advised them to run towards a nearby road.

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options B, C, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
