Passage I

Culture not merely learning. It is discrimination, understanding of life. Liberal education aims at producing moral gifts at well as intellectual, sweetness of temper as much as sanity of outlook. Into the art of living, the cultured man carries a certain grace, a certain distinction which redeems him from the sterile futility of aimless struggle. Culture is not a pose of intellect or a code of convention, but an attitude of life which finds nothing human alien common or unclean. An education that brings up a young man in entire indifference to the misery and poverty surrounding him, to the general stringency of life, to the dumb pangs of tortured bodies and the lives submerged in the shadows, is essentially a failure. If we do not realise the solidarity of the human community, nor human relations with those whom the world passes by as the lowly and lost, we are not cultured.

Culture redeems a person from the sterile futility of aimless struggle because

A) culture brings about a better understanding of life

B) it makes man more intelligent

C) it makes man learned

D) it prepares man for struggle
