Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1 (Extract Iff’s core claim from the passage).
Iff says: “To give a thing a name, a label, a handle; to rescue it from anonymity, to pluck it out of the Place of Namelessness… that’s a way of bringing the said thing into being.” This means that naming/identifying something confers a kind of reality (existence) to it, at least conceptually or imaginatively. Step 2 (Distinguish Iff’s position from Haroun’s).
Haroun insists on “stricter rules” and is skeptical of what he can’t see; Iff rebukes that skepticism (“A person may choose what he cannot see”), pushing the idea that imagination + naming can make present what is absent. Step 3 (Evaluate each option carefully).
(A) “Only trust what you cannot see” — Iff encourages trust beyond the visible, but never says “only.” Over-strong and incorrect.
(B) Says naming makes something unreal; Iff argues the exact opposite.
(C) This is Haroun’s stance (“trust what you can see”), which Iff warns against.
(D) Matches Iff word-for-word: naming is one way to bring something into being (to make it real). Step 4 (Conclusion).
Therefore, (D) correctly captures Iff’s philosophy. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) Naming something is one way to make it real}} \]

Answer 2

Step 1 (Observe Iff’s language).
Iff doesn’t present textbook definitions; he paints images: “Place of Namelessness,” “pluck it out,” lists of imaginary flying organisms (winged horse, airborne whale, space serpent). These are vivid figurative devices used to explain an abstract idea (how naming animates existence). Step 2 (Eliminate look-alike options).
(A) Contradictions? No—the thread is consistent: trust beyond the visible, and naming confers presence.
(B) Synonyms? His lists (crow, quail, hummingbird…) are examples, not synonymy.
(C) Proverbs? Nothing like fixed folk sayings; the phrasing is original, not proverbial. Step 3 (Choose the best descriptor).
Metaphorical/figurative speech fits perfectly; hence (D). \[ \boxed{\text{(D) He uses metaphors to describe things}} \]

Answer 3

Step 1 (Read the build-up).
Iff challenges Haroun with unseen realities: “Africa, have you seen it? No? Then is it truly there? … the past, did it happen? and the future, will it come?” He shows that many things we must accept are not directly visible now. Step 2 (Interpret the warning).
“Believe in your own eyes” = relying only on current sense-perception. Trouble follows because that stance would absurdly deny faraway places, past events, future occurrences, and imagined possibilities. Step 3 (Option test).
(A) Precisely restates the lesson: don’t limit knowledge to the seen.
(B) “Accept everything you see” is not the point; the caution is against over-reliance on sight, not credulity about appearances.
(C) Opposite of the warning.
(D) About viewpoint intolerance—irrelevant here. Step 4 (Conclude).
Therefore (A) is the most accurate paraphrase. \[ \boxed{\text{(A) Do not restrict knowledge only to what you can see}} \]

Answer 4

Step 1 (Group by semantic field).
(A) Levitate: to rise/float in the air (often mysteriously).
(B) Fly: to move through the air under power or by wings.
(C) Hover: to remain suspended in air at one place. All three denote airborne states/motion—same field.
Step 2 (Interpret “gander”).
In context, Iff says, “take a gander at the enclosed” — here gander = “a look/glance” (verb). It is not an airborne action; it belongs to the seeing/looking field (and as a noun it can mean a male goose). Step 3 (Odd-one-out).
Therefore (D) is the only word not tied to flight/air-suspension. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) Gander}} \]

Answer 5

Step 1 (Anchor to context).
The line is: “fabulous winged creatures out of legends: an Assyrian lion… winged monkeys, tiny angels, levitating fish.” This is a catalogue of legendary beings. Step 2 (Choose the sense of ‘fabulous’).
“Fabulous” has multiple senses. - Colloquial: “excellent/very good.” - Literal/etymological (from fable): “mythical/legendary.” Given the explicit mention of “out of legends,” the intended sense is mythical. Step 3 (Eliminate distractors).
(A) “very good” and (B) “unbelievable” are modern senses but do not fit the legend list; (D) “enormous” is unrelated. Step 4 (Conclude).
Hence (C) is the correct contextual meaning. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) Mythical}} \]
