Passage:
Vacationing on a motorcycle, you see things in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you are always in a compartment, and because you are used to it you do not realise that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You are a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a motorcycle, however, the frame is gone. You are completely in contact with it all. You are in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.
Which of the following statements is closest to the truth ?
- AThe writer does not like TV as it gives a narrow view of things.
- BThe writer likes TV but he does not like watching it from car windows.
- CThe writer does not like TV because the picture is in a frame.
- DThe writer does not like TV because the programmes are boring.
Explanation
Refer to the line, “In a car you are always in a compartment, and because you are used to it you do not realise that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You are a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame” which clearly indicates that the writer does not like TV as it gives a narrow view of things. Thus, option (a) is correct.
