Question

Slot-1

Read the passage carefully and answer the following question. Labouring is simply what we do to survive. We labour to eat. To keep our bodies healthy. To keep roof over our heads, and to keep life reproducing. All animals labour, with or without coaxing…. There’s nothing special about labour, save for the fact that without it we would die. Work, on the other hand, gives collective meaning to what we do. When we work to produce something we both put something into and leave something lasting in the world: a table, a house, a book, a car, a rug, a high precision piece of engineering with which we can order the days into time, or keep a body breathing.

Which of the following statements can be BEST concluded from the passage?

Labour enables us to survive while work makes survival meaningful

Doing what is asked of a role is labour, while going beyond the role is work

Unacknowledged work is labour, while acknowledgement makes it work

To be healthy needs labour, while making others healthy is work

Terrace gardening is labour, while producing a vaccine is work
