Question
If students were asked to write essays on the different concepts of tragedy as exemplified by Cordelia and Antigone, and they all responded by showing how each character exemplified a traditional definition of tragedy, we could, according to the passage, hypothesize which one of the following about these students?
Answer: Option B
:
B
This is an application question. First and foremost there are different concepts of tragedy.
They all showed “how each character exemplified a traditional definition of tragedy”.
The meaning is each character exemplified different traditional definitions of tragedy.
Note: If the statement was “each character exemplified the traditional definition of tragedy” then all of them had the same definitions of traditional definition of tragedy and the answer would have been (a).
But since we have the article “a” and not “the”, the answer is not (a). Since the students have not reached the same definition, it can’t be (c). In commitment stage, all the students need to have the same rational and correct definition of tragedy.
So, the answer is (b). In multiplicity stage people have different definitions. Here we don’t know whether the choice is rational or not. That’s why the best answer is (b) as it states that “the students had at least achieved the multiplicity stage”. Whether they are stuck there or they have gone to relativistic stage is unknown.
