Answer 2

Option (b) 1, 2 and 3 -This is the right answer.

Explanation:

• The term 'single-minded' means thinking only about oneself and one's own selfish needs.
• Option 1. Materialism means the material needs like riches and sophistication to showcase. So this comes under 'single-minded'.
• Option 2. Greed means wanting for oneself and not sharing with others. So this is also being 'single-minded'.
• Option 3. Selfish is thinking only about one's own desires. This is obviously being 'single-minded'.
• Option 4. Hypocritical means acting as though one is above all others. It is not being 'single-minded'.
• Option 5. Religious and Option 6. Caring, both are positive terms which cannot come under 'single-minded'.
• Hence Option (b) 1, 2 and 3 is the correct answer.
