1- C


The lines “Macondo oozes, reeks and burns even when it is

most tantalizing and entertaining. It is a place flooded with lies

and liars and yet it spills over with reality. Lovers in this

novel…front porch”, clearly show how Marquez has used

dreamlike or fantastic characters in an enchanted place which

is not distanced from earth or reality. Even the characters

confirm to this fusion. This leads us to option (c). Option (a) is

incorrect as the author does not talk of the narrative in this

context. Option (b) cannot be inferred from the passage.

Option (d) becomes too specific in ‘earthly pains’. The author

is talking of ‘reality’ and not just ‘pains’.



2- D


‘A’ is clearly mentioned in the last two paragraphs. ‘B’ is

negated by the author in the last paragraph, in the following

words- “absurdly complicated, labored and almost impossible

to read. In fact, it is none of these things.” C is incorrect as

‘fantastic’ journey is implied by a ‘quixotic expedition’. Indeed,

here the author mentions that the goal is not reached but that

does not imply a ‘journey devoid of any goal’.



3- D


The author praises Marquez’s style of story-telling and his

portrayal of characters and settings in the novel. In the third

paragraph, the author also expresses admiration for the

language used by Marquez. Thus, it is clear from the passage

that the author’s tone is ‘laudatory’. There is no indication of

flattery in the author’s tone, which makes ‘adulatory’ incorrect.

‘Caviling’, which means to raise trivial and frivolous objections,

would not fit in here. ‘Analytical’ is out of context as the author

is not providing an analysis of Marquez’s novel; he is just

praising his style of story-telling.
