Question

Read the passage given below and choose the option that best fits the question that follows:

Deriving your authority from the government, your position would secure the respect and consideration of everyone, especially in a service where official rank carries so much weight. This would secure you every attention and comfort on your way and there, together with a complete submission to your orders. I know these things are a matter of indifference to you except so far as they may further, the great objects you have in view, but they are of importance in themselves, and of every importance to those who have a right to take an interest in your personal position and comfort.

The great objects in the passage mean ______.

• A. Significant items
• B. Noble goals
• C. Precious merchandise
• D. Objects of praise

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Noble goals

The passage talks about how an official position in the government can secure respect, attention, and comfort for you. These are not physical items or things or objects. Hence, the given answer D is wrong. A and C are also rejected.

Further, these aspects are aims that one can have. And the third sentence concludes that these aspects that come with a position in the government are the greatest aims that one can see in the current world. Hence, B is the correct answer.
