Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #38640 Myself
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
There are two things in nature we have no doubt about; our existence and the outside world. But there is something which makes us aware of these two elements and that is our thought. Whatever we feel, our conclusions, our fears, and aspirations, all revolve around our thinking. Our flesh and bones cannot perceive things in nature. It is the capability of our thoughts alone. Even a physically disabled man with a sane mind gets rational thoughts. So there is some great power that picks impressions from surroundings, concludes ideas, and gives reasoning and judgment. And that power is the power of thinking. This is real "I myself". This "I myself" has an existence apart from its physical reality. It is the real self or person who deals with others in society. Its physical body is a medium through which he can verbalize his thoughts. The real person is embodied in the thoughts of the personality.

What is the real "I myself"?

Option 4: "Our reasoning and judgment"

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the text's assertion that the 'real I myself' is embodied in our thoughts, reasoning, and judgment. The passage emphasizes that our true self is defined by our ability to think and make rational conclusions, which aligns perfectly with this option. It captures the essence of the 'real I myself' as the power that processes impressions and provides reasoning.

Option 1: "Our existence vis-a-vis the outside world"

Explanation: This option refers to the basic elements of existence and the external environment, which the text mentions as things we have no doubt about. However, it does not capture the essence of the 'real I myself,' which is described as the power of thinking and reasoning. Therefore, while it is related to the theme of existence, it does not accurately define the 'real I myself' as presented in the text.

Option 2: "Our power of contemplation"

Explanation: Although this option touches on the concept of thinking, it is too vague and does not specifically address the 'real I myself.' The text emphasizes reasoning and judgment as key components of our true self, rather than just contemplation. Thus, this option fails to encapsulate the full meaning of the 'real I myself' as articulated in the passage.

Option 3: "Our flesh and bones"

Explanation: This option refers to the physical aspect of our being, which the text explicitly states cannot perceive things in nature. The 'real I myself' is described as existing apart from physical reality, focusing instead on thoughts and reasoning. Therefore, this option contradicts the main idea of the text regarding the nature of the 'real I myself'.
