Question

3. How does he describe cricket?
(a) is a game of leisure and grace
(b) as a gentleman's game
(c) as a pyjama party
(d) as the longest yard
​

Answer 1

Answer:

He describes cricket (b) as a gentleman's game.

Explanation:

• This question is related to an article named "Sporting spirit" by Orwell.

• Here in this context "he" refers to George Orwell who describes cricket as a gentleman's game.

• In this article, Orwell once thought that Cricket which is by all accounts a polite game can cause serious and hyper-competitive events like the bodyline series or the meeting Australian cricket crew in England in 1921.

• Orwell never had confidence in the well-known idea that sports will make generosity between worldwide sides.

• Be it any game like cricket, football, or Olympic games, it prompts scorn between the countries.

• In this article, he says that the game is only conflict-less shooting.

• As indicated by him, the serious game doesn't have anything to do with fair play, it is war minus shooting.

• It is more about disdain, envy, pretentiousness, and vicious delight in seeing brutality.

Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
