Directions: A brief passage or a statement is given, and a question is asked, based on the information provided by the passage/statement. The question has four alternatives marked 1 to 4. Critically examine them and choose the best answer.

In many works of fiction, the heroes and heroines are either authors or actors or social figures. Very rarely is the common man, a plumber or an accountant, portrayed as a hero. The one reason for this would perhaps be

  1. the authors are not familiar with the ways of life of people in such professions

  2. people are not impressed with the heroes and heroines who hail from the lower strata of social structure

  3. the authors have no patience to understand the nuances of these professions

  4. delineation of such characters requires a lot of care and a realistic approach
