Question

R. C. Hutchinson did not ........................ the rapid movement of life.

• A. like
• B. hate
• C. dislike
• D. love

Hint:

An author's self-description is key to understanding their point of view. A "slow thinker" will naturally dislike a world that moves too fast for them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: This question refers to the attitude of the author in the essay "The Pace for Living."
Step 2: The author describes himself as a "slow thinker" and part of the "tribe of slow thinkers."
Step 3: He finds the fast pace of modern life, exemplified by fast cars and rapid scene changes in cinema, to be overwhelming and unpleasant. Therefore, he did not 'like' the rapid movement of life. 'Dislike' (C) is synonymous, but 'did not like' is a more direct way to phrase his sentiment as presented in the essay.
