Solution

The correct option is D important
Option D: 'Important' means 'of great significance, value or worth'.
As it's mentioned in the passage, "the merchant come to know the worth of what he carries, and what are parochial and delicate goods as justice, love, honour, courtesy..."
Something 'of worth' is something 'of importance'.
Hence option D is correct.
Options A, B and C:
'Fragile' means 'delicate, easily broken', 'perishable' means 'something that can easily be destroyed' and 'desirable' is 'something that you wish for'.
These meanings are neither mentioned nor implied in the passage.
Hence options A, B and C are wrong.

Q. passage
Greyhound racing is the sixth most popular spectator sport in the United States. Over the last decade, a growing number of racers have been adopted to spend their retirement as household pets, once their racing careers are over.
Many people hesitate to adopt a retired racing greyhound because they think only very old dogs are available. Actually, even champion racers only work until they are about three-and-ahalf years old. Because greyhounds usually live to be 12 to 15 years old, their retirement is much longer than their racing careers.
People worry that a greyhound will be more nervous and active than other breeds and will need a large space to run. These are false impressions.
Greyhounds have naturally sweet, mild dispositions, and while they love to run, they are sprinters rather than distance runners and are sufficiently exercised with a few daily laps around a fenced-in backyard.
Greyhounds do not make good watchdogs, but they are very good with children, get along well with other dogs (and usually cats as well), and are affectionate and loyal. They are intelligent, well-behaved dogs, usually housebroken in only a few days. A retired racing greyhound is a wonderful pet for almost anyone.
