Multiple choice

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

Whether man is prepared to cope with the increased choice of material and cultural wares available to him is, however, a totally different question. For there comes a time when choice, rather than freeing the individual, becomes so complex, difficult and costly, that it turns into its opposite. There comes a time, in short, when choice turns into over-choice and freedom into un-freedom. To understand why we must go beyond this examination of our material and cultural choice, we have to look at what is happening to social choice as well, for this choice will have far more bearing on the other choices.

What is the underlying idea of the passage?

  1. To decide on the choices to make

  2. To ruminate on the complexity of choosing

  3. To settle on social choice as a determiner

  4. To wriggle out of the material and cultural maze

  5. To show the importance of random choosing
