Question :

In the following question, a situation is described and followed by a list of words. Identify the correct word which can be used to describe the situation/passage or a part of the passage and mark the answer.

His international impact was easily equivalent to that of Simmel's contemporaries, Émile Durkheim and Max Weber, finding an audience in Chicago as early as the 1890s. Nevertheless, he was perpetually denied academic promotion. As his father had died while Simmel was young, he was appointed a guardian who owned a music publishing house and who left Simmel a considerable inheritance, financially securing his intellectual pursuits.

1. Intense

2. Mocking

3. Doublethink

4. Outraged

5. Whimsical

Correct Answer : 3
Solution :

Here the author tries to convince the reader to treat the two conflicting/opposite ideas - 'Simmel finding audience in Chicago' (implying that Simmel was good at what he did) and 'Simmel was denied academic promotion perpetually' - as true at the same time. 'Doublethink' (the acceptance of contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time) is the best word among the options to express the same; and hence should be the answer here.

'Intense' (of extreme force/degree/strength); 'Mocking' (making fun of someone or something in a cruel way); 'Outraged' (fierce anger) and 'Whimsical' (playful or volatile) fail to express the tone of the given passage and cannot be the answer.

Answer is option (c).
