Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

That’s how life plays out for all of us. We lose some. Like sportspersons, we too pack our gear and go to work. But unlike them, the gaze of the world is not upon us. Most of us do our business in anonymity, very few of us are emotionally wired to the outcomes of our day jobs. We don’t come back feeling like winners. Or losers. As sports fans we can summon empathy for those who stretch their bodies and minds to the limit in the pursuit of athletic excellence and provide such joys in the process.

But we will never experience the highs that are their reward. And we will never know the depth of their lows, which are their burden.

Still, no one will know better than Rohit and Dravid that its already a new day. There might never be a World Cup win for them. But there are loved ones to go to. Life awaits still.

Which of the following statements BEST summarizes the above passage?

Explanatory Answer

The passage stresses the difference between the experiences of sportspersons and the fans that watch them. While fans might feel a connection to the sports they watch, they do not fully comprehend the highs and lows experienced by the athletes. The passage also points out that, unlike athletes, most people are not as emotionally invested in their jobs and do not have their work analyzed by the public. Therefore, while fans can empathize with the athletes, they can never truly comprehend their experiences. This is why option E best summarizes the passage

---

The answer is 'Just because we enjoy sports does not mean we understand the sportspersons.'

Choice E is the correct answer.
