Question

Choose the appropriate sentence from the given options to complete the short paragraph of three sentences.
A) An ideal teacher leads a very simple life.
B) ___________________________________.
C) His first and foremost priority is his duty towards his students.

a) He has possible minimum needs.
b) His thoughts and ideas are dignified and desirable.
c) An ideal teacher is most regular and punctual.
d) He is most disciplined and law-abiding.

Answer 1

Hint: The second statement needs to have a connection with the first and third sentences. It further indicates the message expressed in the first statement. Hence, it is important to understand the first sentence.

Complete answer:

The answer we choose should be the inference of the preceding sentence and must give way to the sentence following.
In the given question- We know that an ideal teacher leads a simple life. Hence, he would have lesser needs and demands.
Now, let’s look at the given options-
Option a ‘He has possible minimum needs’ actually describes the simple life he leads and thus acts as an enhancer of the previous statement and gives way to the statement that followed it with a coherent meaning.
Option b ‘His thoughts and ideas are dignified and desirable’ does not have any connection with the sentence preceding it and does not form logical order. So, this option is incorrect.
Option c ‘An ideal teacher is most regular and punctual’ does not have any logical relation with the sentence preceding it and does not form coherent order. So, this option is incorrect.
Option d ‘He is most disciplined and law-abiding’ shares the same reason as the other incorrect options and thus is incorrect itself.
So, the correct answer is “Option a”.

Note: The sentences should have a logical and natural flow that should not seem weird or unconnected.
