The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

This is a paragraph conclusion question. The safest way to crack it is to strip the paragraph down to its logical skeleton and then test each option against that skeleton. The skeleton here is: yoga suits some people, yoga does not suit people who want fast high energy workouts, so check what your body needs before you sign up. The word "Therefore" in the last line is a signpost that the writer has reached the point of the passage.

  1. Yoga is more popular than high energy exercise: The passage only calls yoga "a very popular exercise". It never ranks yoga against high energy exercise. Turning a plain description into a comparison is an addition the writer never authorised, so this option is out.
  2. Yoga is changing the concept of fitness in various ways: Nothing in the passage discusses how ideas about fitness are shifting. The passage discusses one narrow thing: whether yoga fits a particular reader. This option talks about a much larger social change that the passage stays silent on.
  3. Before opting for Yoga, assess your fitness requirements: This matches the last line word for word in meaning. "Evaluate your fitness requirement before joining yoga classes" and "assess your fitness requirements before opting for yoga" say the same thing. The two earlier sentences give the reason why such an assessment matters. This is the supported statement.
  4. Yoga is a holistic fitness regime: The passage is mildly cautious about yoga, not promotional. Calling yoga holistic is a claim about the quality of yoga, and the writer makes no such claim anywhere.

So the correct option is (C). It is the only one that is a paraphrase of the writer's own concluding advice rather than a new idea smuggled in from outside.

Let's summarize:

  • In a "best supports" question, the answer must already be present in the passage, usually in the concluding line.
  • Words like "Therefore" mark the writer's point, so anchor your answer there.
  • Reject any option that adds a comparison, a value judgment or a broader social claim the passage never made.

The paragraph best supports option (C): assess your fitness requirements before opting for yoga.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
