Read all the following passages carefully and answer their related questions by choosing correct options.

There seem to be just two ways of perceiving time: some people complain about never having any, others are always looking for ways to kill time. But time is actually very fairly distributed. Everyone gets 60 minutes per hour and 24 hours per day, net; It is only the daily tasks that are distributed unequally. They make the day too short for some people and too long for others. Just imagine a pupil who is handed his lessons for the week all in one lump by the teacher: "By Saturday you have to do 100 maths problems, read 20 pages in your reading book, write two dictations and a composition, and know all about the geography of the North Sea and about the biblical Flood. You must also learn two songs, participate in sports and find time for needlework and drawing.?' The pupil will probably be shocked by this mountain of work and prefer to stay in bed pretending to have the flu. However, divided according to subjects and lessons, the weekly workload is not as intimidating. The pupil sees that all the subjects can be covered - and there is free time as well.

What "mountain of work' does the writer refer to?

A) Only one hundred maths problems

B) Work that has to be done on Saturday

C) Daily tasks        

D) Work to be done that week
