Question

There are partnerships where one person is more emotional than the other. He seems to be needy, intense and possessive, whereas she plays an uninvolved role and becomes the vamp. The psychological forces at work in such a bond is the fact that the first fears that if he does not fill the emotional void, then the relationship will deflate like a failed soufflé. In all practicality, the space needed within a relationship must be almost equal. _________________________

(a) If you find yourself to be in such a predicament, where you take up too much of the common space, the only way to go further is to back off a little bit, let your significant other come to you.
(b) In salsa dancing also, one has to respect the other's space and not overcrowd them.
(c) In trivial pursuits, space is of such significance and so the value of it in relationship is all the more.
(d) It can be understood with the help of a concept as simple as kabaddi- that if you cross the line beyond a point, only you will lose and be made to sit out for the rest of the game.

D . It can be understood with the help of a concept as simple as kabaddi- that if you cross the line beyond a point, only you will lose and be made to sit out for the rest of the game

Answer: Option D
:
D
The passage talks about relationships and the importance of space given to each person. If one person gets too needy then the whole relationship is lost. Option (a) says that one has to back off and let the other come to you. But this is not mentioned in the passage. The passage only says that each has to give the other enough space. Option (b) brings in salsa dancing which is irrelevant here. In option (c), "trivial pursuits” makes the answers wrong as the partnership is not a trivial one. In option (d) an analogy is drawn to better understand the main idea. Hence this is the answer.
