Passage:
Passage-II It is possible to give wedding presents, birthday and Christmas presents, without any thought of affection at all, they can be ordered by postcard; but the unbirthday present demands the nicest care. It is therefore the best of all, and it is the only kind to which the golden rule o f present-giving imperatively applies - the golden rule which insists that you must never give to another person anything that you would not rather keep: nothing that does not cost you a pang to part from. It would be better if this rule governed the choice also of those other three varieties of gifts, but they can be less exacting.
The author says that wedding, birthday and Christmas presents
- Aare always indicators o f the giver's affection
- Bmay not always be given with any thought of affection
- Care given only to flatter the recipient
- Dare given only to fulfil an obligation
Explanation
The passage states plainly: 'It is possible to give wedding presents, birthday and Christmas presents, without any thought of affection at all.' They can even be 'ordered by postcard', showing how little care they may involve. Only the 'unbirthday' present demands real thought. Hence these conventional presents may not always be given with affection, option (B).
