Question

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. A
My phone rings again. It is futile to ignore it anymore. Maneesha is persistent. She will continue to bedevil me until I acquiesce. "Hello", I answer.
"The circus, Atika?" she says in her sing-song voice. "When are we going? Only two more days left!"
1 abhor the Circus. The boisterous crowds, the overwhelming smell of animal feces, the insanely long lines with wailing children and the impossibility of
finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an event that I dread.
For Maneesha, my best friend since the angst of middle school, the Circus is a sign
that divine powers really do exist.
"Really, Atika, where else can you pet an elephant, see a stuntman ride a horse,
laugh till you are ready to cry, see the world's smallest person and eat fried potatoes The fried food at the Circus is a gastronomical nightmare on its own.
I once tried a
fried Cottage Cheese stick at the fair and was sick to my stomach for hours. And a fried burger with oil soaked potato patty, cheese, multicolored sauces
AND a greasy slice of cottage cheese? How could that not be deleterious to your health?
I have not seen Maneesha for a good month; our schedules are both so hectic. My hatred of the Circus becomes inconsequential to my desire to hang
with Mani.
Alas, I ignore my anti-Circus bias for the umpteenth year. "Pick me up at noon", I say and hang up the phone why might the author have chosen to capitalize all the letters in the word "and" when writing about the burger she ate?
A
To make sure the reader understood it was a list
B
To show that a greasy slice of cottage cheese was the last
ingredient
C
To highlight her dislike of greasy slice of cottage cheese
D
To emphasize how many ingredients were in the burge​

Answer 1

The correct answer is option c) To highlight her dislike of a greasy slice of cottage cheese.

• The given narration talks about the narrator's hatred of the circus and the fried food found at the circus.

• The narrator talks about how and why the food at the circus is unhealthy. She describes the fried, oil-dripping foods that she hates at the circus.

• While describing the fried burger, the author capitalizes each letter of 'AND' to show how much the narrator hates the fried cottage cheese found at the circus. It exaggerates her dislike of circus and fried foods.
