Question
The primary purpose of the passage is to:
Answer: Option A
:
A
The main theme of the passage is presenting paranoia as a neurosis and explaining how the best way to cure paranoia depends on how we handle the situation. Otherwise it is almost impossible to treat. This can be obtained from the lines “Psychologists such as Dr. Karen Horney firmly believe that by the time the disease is severe, the course of getting out of the paranoid situation is lost forever. Hence, a clear and rational handling of the situation is required in the pre-paranoid situation. How the victims handle the situation is the best defense against paranoia.” This idea is best represented only in option (a). Option (b) does not cover the main theme of the passage satisfactorily. Symptoms form only a part of the passage but the main purpose is as stated above. There is no idea given in the passage for the readers to draw their own conclusion. Option (c) is irrelevant. There is no research angle being given in the passage. Option (d) is ruled out. Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
