Question:

In the following question a paragraph from which the last sentence has been delete(d) From the given options, choose the sentence that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way. 
Most people at their first consultation take a furtive look at the surgeon's hands in the hope of reassurance. Prospective patients look for delicacy, sensitivity, steadiness, perhaps unblemished pallor. On this basis, Henry Perowne loses a number of cases each year. Generally, he knows it's about to happen before the patient does: the downward glance repeated, the prepared questions beginning to falter, the overemphatic thanks during the retreat to the door. 
(1) Other people do not communicate due to their poor observation. 
(2) Other patients don't like what they see but are ignorant of their right to go elsewhere.
(3) But Perowne himself is not concerned' 
(4) But others will take their place, he thought. 
(5) These hands are steady enough, but they are large. 
 

Show Hint

Solution and Explanation


- The entire paragraph is focused on patients judging the surgeon by the appearance of his hands.
- The natural conclusion would explain what they are seeing that disappoints them.
- Option 5 completes the thought: the hands are steady (reassuring), but large (possibly intimidating).
- This justifies the reactions and fits the tone and narrative perfectly.
