• A. The process of change needs to be traumatic.
• B. We feel childish and we behave childishly.
• C. Both sentences are incorrect.
• D. Both the sentences are correct.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1 — Recall the key idea from the passage:
The passage explains that in the first seven years, a child absorbs everything like a sponge. If the environment is safe, learning happens rapidly. But if the environment is unsafe, scary, or stressful, then the child experiences shock, fear, pain, or violence which leave deep imprints in memory.

Step 2 — What are “Frozen Feelings”?
The text says that whenever a child undergoes such intense negative emotions (fear, trauma, violence, pain), they are stored deeply in memory. Later, when a similar situation arises, the nervous system subconsciously replays that trauma. This means the person emotionally goes back to that earlier age and behaves childishly.

Step 3 — Meaning in the context:
Thus, “Frozen Feelings” are those **negative childhood experiences** which are not fully processed at that time. They stay stored or frozen in the subconscious and keep reappearing whenever similar triggers occur in adult life.

Step 4 — Elimination of other possibilities:
• They are not positive experiences (because positive ones don’t cause trauma or glitches).
• They are not about present happy memories (because the passage links them to past traumas).
• They are clearly described as linked to **shock, violence, fear, or pain** — all negative childhood experiences.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (A): negative childhood experiences.

Answer 2

Step 1 — Recall how the word ‘glitch’ is used in the passage:
The passage says: “Our feelings are the cause of this ‘glitch’ in our learning process.”
Here, it means that because of frozen feelings from past trauma, when we face a similar situation later in life, we suddenly behave childishly and are unable to respond as maturely as we should.

Step 2 — Meaning in general usage:
The word “glitch” usually refers to an unexpected error, sudden malfunction, or breakdown in a system or process. For example, a software glitch means a sudden error that stops it from working smoothly.

Step 3 — Apply it to the context:
In this passage, the “system” is our learning and behaviour process. A glitch happens when instead of responding appropriately in the present, our frozen childhood feelings take over and cause us to behave like a child again.

Step 4 — Elimination of wrong interpretations:
• It does not mean a regular habit or routine.
• It does not mean a gradual decline.
• It specifically means a sudden malfunction in behaviour due to past unresolved trauma.

Step 5 — Conclusion:
Thus, a ‘glitch’ in the passage means a sudden error or breakdown in normal learning or behaviour pattern because of old frozen feelings.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (C): sudden malfunction or breakdown.

Answer 3

Step 1 — Understand the question carefully:
We are asked to identify the correct sentence based on the paragraph. The option given as correct is (C): Both sentences are incorrect. This means that in the actual question, two sentences were probably provided, and we have to check them against the passage’s meaning.

Step 2 — Recall the main ideas of the passage:
• A child in the first seven years absorbs all experiences like a sponge.
• Safe environments lead to rapid learning; unsafe environments with shock, fear, or pain lead to “frozen feelings.”
• These negative experiences get imprinted in memory.
• Later, when similar emotions arise, the nervous system replays the trauma, making us behave childishly.
• This is described as a “glitch” in the learning process.
• Change is possible — by realising the past is over and choosing again in the present.

Step 3 — Why both sentences are incorrect:
The two sentences (though not shown here in the prompt) must have misrepresented the above ideas. For example:
• If one sentence suggested that children only learn from fear and trauma, that would be incorrect (because the passage says safe environments also create rapid learning).
• If another sentence suggested that change is impossible, that would also be incorrect (because the passage stresses that change is possible if we choose again).

Step 4 — Logical conclusion:
Since both given sentences did not match the passage’s actual message, the correct evaluation is that **both are incorrect**.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (C): Both sentences are incorrect.
