Question:

It has been claimed in the passage that “some roles are more absorbing than others”. According to the passage, which of the following seem(s) appropriate reason(s) for such a claim?

Some roles carry great expectations from the society preventing manifestation of the true self.
Society ascribes so much importance to some roles that the conception of self may get aligned with the roles being performed.
Some roles require development of skill and expertise leaving little time for manifestation of self.

Explanation:

The answer comes from the last paragraph where three examples are given, the father, the waitress, and the priest.
The example of the priest makes statement A correct. (There is so much expectation from the society that the priest’s true self is not revealed at all).
The father’s example makes statement B correct. (The father’s self gets aligned with his biological relationship and the self is denied).
Statement C is incorrect in that the passage does not discuss the development of skill as a reason for the denial of the self.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
