Question

Which of the following statements may be assumed to reflect the central theme of the passage?

• A. Good thoughts lead to the control of the sense organs.
• B. Control of the sense organs leads to good thoughts.
• C. Character, though established, may be disturbed by outside forces.
• D. No man can achieve success in destroying the inner forces.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Good thoughts lead to the control of the sense organs.

According to the last para, good thoughts lead to good thoughts which in turn help a man to control his sense organs and not vice versa. Hence, our answer A is correct.

An established character cannot be disturbed by outside forces as per the first sentence. Thus, C is wrong.

We reject B and D as they are not in line with the passage.
