Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

I must say that, beyond occasionally exposing me to laughter, my constitutional shyness has been of no disadvantage whatever. In fact, I can see that, on the contrary, it has been all to my advantage. My hesitancy in speech, which was once an annoyance, is now a pleasure. Its greatest benefit has been that it has taught me the economy of words. I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts-And I can now give myself the certificate that a thoughtless word hardly ever escapes my tongue or pen. I do not recollect ever having had to regret anything in my speech or writing. I have thus been spared many a mishap and waste of time. Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. Proneness to exaggerate, to suppress or modify the truth, wittingly or unwittingly, is a natural weakness of man, and silence is necessary in order to surmount it. A man of few words Will rarely be thoughtless in his speech; he will measure every word. We find so many people impatient to talk. There is no chairman of a meeting who is not pestered with notes for permission to speak. And whenever the permission is given the speaker generally exceeds the time-limit, asks for more time, and keeps on talking without permission. All this talking can hardly be said to be of any benefit to the world. It is so much waste of time. My shyness has been in reality my shield and buckler. It has allowed me to grow. It has helped me in my discernment of truth.

The author says that for surmounting the natural weakness of man to overstate, silence is necessary. Which one of the following is not a correct implication of this?

The author says that for surmounting the natural weakness of man to overstate, silence is necessary. Which one of the following is not a correct implication of this?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: (D) To overstate is not a serious problem for man. The author states that the tendency to overstate is a natural weakness of man and that silence is necessary to overcome it. This implies that silence is not easy for man, as it requires overcoming a natural tendency. The passage does not state that silence is unnatural for man or that man's weakness to overstate is not a serious problem. It also does not mention that silence is not natural for man.
