Which among the following was not a topic of conversation between the…

Comprehension:

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:-

One day several months ago, my elder brother, who was ninety-five years old then, called me, on phone from Rameswaram. He started the conversation by narrating an incident about my friend’s visit to him. During the discussion, my friend asked my brother, “How old is your house?” He said, “The house was built by our father, more than a century ago. My younger brother, and my earning grandchildren have now come out with a proposal to build a new house in the same place after demolishing this one.” My friend said he would not want to see such a historical place demolished. He was willing to make an arrangement through a trust to transform the house into a museum and library, while alternative accommodation was worked out for my brother and his family. My brother, was calling me, to say he was against the friend’s proposal. "I would like to live in the house where I have grown and lived for ninety-five years. I would like to build a new house in the same place through the earnings of my kith and kin. I would not like to have any other arrangements. You thank your friend in a nice way". It struck me,—here is a man who would like to lead his life on his own terms and does not want any help, well-meant though it might be. It was a great learning for me, and I saw in my brother, a reflection of my father, who lived to 103 years and inculcated such a tradition in us.

Which among the following was not a topic of conversation between the narrator and his elder brother?

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 1

The correct answer is Option (1) → Buying a new house for the narrator

The talk was about the brother's century-old family house. The family planned to build a new house in its place, and the friend offered to turn the old house into a museum and library through a trust. Buying a new house for the narrator was never discussed.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 2: Transforming the house into a museum — Incorrect. True in the passage: the friend proposed to transform the house into a museum, so this was discussed.

Option 3: Transforming the house into a library — Incorrect. True in the passage: the same proposal included a library.

Option 4: Making arrangements through a trust — Incorrect. True in the passage: the friend was willing to make the arrangement through a trust.
