Multiple choice

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

All these talks of property are foolish. We think we are leaving things behind for our children so that they could lead a comfortable life! Just think of the kings and queens who left behind so much for the succeeding generations! Where were they now? And who was enjoying their property today? Budhu was analytically more pragmatic than his station permitted him. But while he made this observation, he did not have Pheku Miyan's status in mind. Nor for that matter, Pheku Miyan gave any thought to it. The two went about their way, munching the same cud over and over again.

What message does the passage convey?

  1. To state that leaving property behind does not necessarily ensure life of comfort for the succeeding generations

  2. To show that it is important to be analytically more pragmatic than one's station permitted

  3. To demonstrate the utility of wealth and property in the hands of the generations that follow

  4. To illustrate on how the mind of Pheku Miyan was working

  5. To dwell on the pragmatism of Budhu
