Question: 348
6. Which is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?
- A. Love is blind.
- B. Birthmarks should be removed.
- C. Perfection cannot be achieved on earth.
- D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. Aylmer’s attempt to make his wife perfect resulted in destroying her, thus illustrating the fact that perfection cannot be achieved on earth. Choice A is wrong because if love were blind Aylmer would not have attempted to remove the birthmark. Choice B is wrong because the passage proves the opposite to be true. Choice D is wrong because the effect of the birthmark was “to scare away all their happiness.”
