Harold a professional man who had worked in an office for many years had a fearful dream. In it, he found himself in a land where small slug-like animals with slimy tentacles lived on people's bodies. The people tolerated the loathsome creatures because after many years they grew into elephants which then became the nation's system of transport, carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go. Harold suddenly realised that he himself was covered with these things, and he woke up screaming. In a vivid sequence of pictures this dream dramatised for Harold what he had never been able to put in to words; he saw himself as letting society feed on his body in his early years so that it would carry him when he retired. He later threw off the "security bug" and took up freelance work.
In his dream Harold found the loathsome creatures
Options:
A . in his village
B . in his own house
C . in a different land
D . in his office
Answer: Option C In the dream, Harold discovered the loathsome creatures in a land different from his own. The passage mentions, "In it, he found himself in a land where small slug-like animals with slimy tentacles lived on people's bodies." This indicates that the setting of the dream was not in his village, his own house, or his office, but in a separate land. Therefore, option (C) "in a different land" is the correct choice.
