उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (c) ऐसे लोग भी हैं जो अपनी जरूरतों के लिए धन संचित करने में असफल रह जाते हैं।
The passage opens with “The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs…”, which takes for granted that such people exist. It says nothing about how many people in all fail or succeed.
- ✗ (a) “Majority” refers to those among the people who fail who are easily influenced, not to most people in general.
- ✗ (b) No claim about most people succeeding is made; outside the passage.
- ✓ (c) Speaking of “people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs” implies that such people exist.
- ✗ (d) The passage treats having money sufficient for one’s needs as desirable; it never says there is no need for it.
Remember · ‘Implied’ often means ‘presupposed’: what must be true for the author’s sentence to make sense at all.
