Question

Read the following passage from "Like the Sun," in which Sekhar has decided to both give and take "absolute Truth.”

At home his wife served him with a sullen face. He knew she was still angry with him for his remark of the morning. Two casualties for today, Sekhar said to himself. If I practice it for a week, I don't think I shall have a single friend left.

He received a call from the headmaster in his classroom the next day. He went up apprehensively.

"Your suggestion was useful. I have paid off the music master. No one would tell me the truth about my music all these days. Why such antics at my age! Thank you. By the way, what about those test papers?"

"You gave me ten days, sir, for correcting them."

"Oh, I've reconsidered it. I must positively have them here tomorrow..." A hundred papers in a day! That meant all night's sitting up!
Which of the following is an important theme in this passage?

A. Honesty is always the best policy.
B. Telling the truth will come with a price.
C. Life should be defined by truth or death.
D. Follow your heart, and the truth shall prevail.

Answer 1

B. Telling the truth will come with a price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sekhar decided to give and receive "absolute truth" and this brought some not very good consequences for his life. First, he made absolutely true remarks about his wife and the result of it was that he made her sad and angry. Second, he made absolutely true observations on his work and the result was that his boss gave him more work and less time to complete it. That is, telling the truth will come with a price.
