Each of the paragraphs given below has a sentence missing which is indicated by a blank. From the choices given below each paragraph, choose the sentence that seems most logically appropriate to complete the paragraph.

Question 26 : Few look forward to old age and all that it brings in its wake - deteriorating health, loss of vigour, restricted mobility, increasing dependence on others, not to mention a sense of foreboding and anxiety. Yet, one has to learn to cope with the onset of old age. Firstly, it is imperative to prepare to accept old age in spite of the restrictions or limitations it imposes on one's mobility. Equally important is the need to adopt a positive attitude towards life. _______________Above all, peace of mind, is the efficacious balm that brings equanimity to one's life. We must resign ourselves to growing old, and in the process let us try to make life as fulfilling and meaningful as possible.

  1. The role of humour and fun are indispensable as these are the spice of life and guaranteed to bring cheer and bonhomie, besides keeping one's mind off life's grim realities.
  2. Owing to advances in medical science, we can now expect to live well beyond 90 years.
  3. Physical debility and stiffening body joints 'creaking' in protest may make mobility difficult - something one should learn to take in one's stride stoically.
  4. Turning nostalgic and recalling 'those good old days' when they were young and life was radically different from what it is today, help one accept old age.

Explanatory Answer

The passage talks about the realities of the old age, and how to cope with the limitations it brings about. The statement before the blank ends with the need to adopt a positive attitude towards life, and the statement after the blank talks about peace of mind. We are looking at a bridge to connect both these ideas, OR something to substantiate with some channels of positive attitude.
Option D talks about "accepting old age", which is more of a negative connotation. Option C talks about difficulties as well, hence C and D can be eliminated.
Though option B is a positive statement, it has nothing to do with "positive attitude"; it is just a probabilistic fact. That leaves us only with option A, which is the eventual answer.

The question is "Few look forward to old age and all that it brings in its wake - deteriorating health, loss of vigour, restricted mobility, increasing dependence on others, not to mention a sense of foreboding and anxiety. Yet, one has to learn to cope with the onset of old age. Firstly, it is imperative to prepare to accept old age in spite of the restrictions or limitations it imposes on one's mobility. Equally important is the need to adopt a positive attitude towards life. _______________Above all, peace of mind, is the efficacious balm that brings equanimity to one's life. We must resign ourselves to growing old, and in the process let us try to make life as fulfilling and meaningful as possible."

Hence, the answer is The role of humour and fun are indispensable as these are the spice of life and guaranteed to bring cheer and bonhomie, besides keeping one's mind off life's grim realities.

Choice A is the correct answer
