Question

This generation of young people are far less likely to be able to learn how to make decisions when on their own, how to act responsibly and how to assess the motives of those they do not know. They are less likely to be able to have adventures, extend personal frontiers, be mischievous, learn directly the consequences of being careless, gain self-esteem and self-confidence from acting sensibly, and contribute to family and community life by shopping, visiting or running errands for old people. These are all essential components of becoming responsible citizens.

• A. Modernization is responsible for the new generations' tale of depravity.
• B. Life is essentially an amalgamation of experiences.
• C. One's experiences at the micro level get manifested at the macro.
• D. A responsible citizen would have definitely led a wholesome childhood.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

One's experiences at the micro level get manifested at the macro.

(c) is correct. The underlying message of the paragraph is the process by which character is shaped through one's experiences/interactions in the formative stages of life. (b) is not being very specific with respect to the paragraph. (d) is not explicitly stated in the paragraph. It is not the central idea either. The cause of depravity is also not stated in the paragraph.
