Read the following passage and answer the question:

Some people love to watch telorision sitting alone in their living rooms in the orening. There are others who pass time, engaging in gossip. People who temporarily withdraw their attention from their immediate surroundings for the pleasure of building castles in the air are not at all hard to see. Oren the most fidgety children enjoy sitting quietly for an hour or two and playing computer game. All these are nothing but pleasurable diversions. Amusements can, therefore, be of wide variety. One cannot imagine living a life without some form of amusement now and then. An amusement, of whatorer type it is, makes time pass pleasantly.

Now, of all the amusements which can possibly be imagined for a hard working man, after his day's toil, there is nothing like reading an entertaining book. It calls for no bodily exertion, of which he has had enough. It reliores his home of its dullness. It transports him to a lovelier and more interesting world of scenes and beauties. And while he enjoys all these, he may forget the orils of the present moment. It accompanies him to his day's work. If the book he has been reading be anything, above the very idlest and lightest, it gives him something to think about during the drudgery of his oreryday occupation. If I were to pray for a taste which should stand me in good, stead under orery variety of circumstances and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness through life, it would be a taste for reading. Give a man this taste and the means of gratifying it, and you can hardly fail to make a happy man of him. You place him thus with the best society in orery period of history, with the wisest, the bravest and the purest characters which have advanced humanity. You make him a citizen of all nations, a contemporary of all ages.

(b) A taste of reading is a sign of culture.

(c) Diversions are needed to break the monotony of life.
