All the following are characteristics of the people sitting at the father's table, except

Directions: Answer the question based on the following passage.

When universal darkness strikes, a cheering gleam appears within the folds of conservative Christianity. While religious leaders are mere substitute of true spiritual teachers, they are just preaching the Gospel of Christ without even understanding the true potency of the verses. They teach lofty sermons but their lives are devoid of the truths they preach.

There are a few who really care. They are the ones who truly desire God. They go by the laws of virtue, endorsed by Christianity, in the hope that they would evolve as the true sons of God. They are the starved souls who can get satisfaction from God Himself and not from the leaders seated at the father’s table.

The few who fear God have a growing hunger for knowledge about Him. Their life revolves around the peripherals of spiritualism. But their souls are still full of discontent seeking the right interpretation of Truth. Still they are the only harbingers of revival. They are small in number but they are the future precursors of religion, our only hope.

Explanation

Option (1): It is mentioned in the first paragraph of the passage that people who are well versed with Christian sermons and who preach them ardently are sitting at the father's table. Option (2): 'Sons of' is not a characteristic, but an outcome of a characteristic pursuit. Also, 'proclaimed' makes it something of a status that can be linked with the clergy only. Thus, the option is eliminated. Option (3): “Leaders seated at the father's table” officially propagates spiritualism. Thus, the option is eliminated. Option (4): “Leaders seated at the father's table” are learned enough to preach. Thus, the option is eliminated. Option (5): “Leaders seated at the father's table” does not satisfy “the starved souls who can get satisfaction (only) from God Himself”. Thus, the option is the correct answer.
