Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #38797 The circulation
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
One strong emotion that corrupts our brains is anger. The circulation of the blood increases in the angry man who feels cheated as he loses self- control and picks up a row. Why is one compelled to react to these negative emotions so strongly and irrationally? When one receives some bad news, self-control becomes impossible, the senses stop working and one may suffer anxiety and restlessness. This gap in self-control increases the chances that one feels cheated and the animal instincts take over.
Is there a way out of the situation? The trick here is to observe our emotions, instead of immediately reacting. This proves as an in-built check on negative tendencies like cheating. In other words, the strongest of emotions can be overpowered by introspection.

Option 4: "The animal instincts take over."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text explicitly states that when self-control is lost, animal instincts take over. This indicates a physical condition where primal reactions dominate, leading to anger and irrational behavior, aligning directly with the question about what physical condition causes loss of self-control.

Option 1: "Strong emotion corrupts the brain."

Explanation: While the text mentions that strong emotions, particularly anger, can corrupt our brains, it does not specify this as a physical condition that leads to losing self-control. Instead, it describes the emotional impact rather than a direct physiological response.

Option 2: "Blood pressure rises."

Explanation: The text states that the circulation of blood increases in an angry person, which may imply a rise in blood pressure, but it does not explicitly mention blood pressure as the physical condition causing loss of self-control. Therefore, this option is too narrow and not directly supported by the text.

Option 3: "Senses stop working."

Explanation: The text indicates that when one receives bad news, self-control becomes impossible and the senses stop working. However, this is a consequence of losing self-control rather than a physical condition that directly causes anger. Thus, it does not answer the question accurately.
