19. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below by selecting the
correct option.
Language, as they say, is the lens through which human beings perceive the world. If so, English is
perhaps the most distorting lens through which to see animals. It has perpetuated a cross-eyed view of
birds, beasts, fish and fowl. The very word ‘animal’ connotes the brutish and the sensual. Animal
instinct implies baseness and vulgarity. The language transfers negative human traits to animals,
making the former appear as characteristics of the latter. Thus, the chicken is cowardly, frightened,
faint-hearted; the goat lustful and foolish; the bear rough and ill-bred. Butterflies are flighty, seals
slippery and foxes notorious for craftiness and cunning. Much the worst are the reptiles particularly the
snake, creeping, base, malignant, abject, ungrateful and treacherous. Always the snake in the grass.

Each species carries its denigration forever embedded in its English name giving the language as many
unpleasant adjectives as it could possibly want. To be bull-headed is to be impetuous and obstinate; the
cattish woman is spiteful and backbiting. An elephant’s walk is ungainly, bird-brains are to be ridiculed
and the herd mentality draws only contempt. You can be as blind as a bat, and batty if you are crazy as
well.

In the English language, the animals are

a) used for uninteresting comparisons b) used for unpleasant comparisons

c) used for pleasant comparisons d) not used for any comparisons
