Which one of the following best illustrates the relationship between the phrases:

(i) 'eschew the glittering prizes' and 
(ii) 'idyllic and rural paradise'?

  • A.Unless you do (i), you cannot have (ii)
  • B.(i) and (ii) are identical in meaning
  • C.First of all you must have (ii) in order to do (i)
  • D.The meaning of (i) is directly opposite to (ii)

Answer: D

Correct answer: Unless you do (i), you cannot have (ii)

Eschewing the glittering prizes is the condition; the rural paradise is what follows from meeting it. The passage puts them in that order - villagers are to be self-sufficient and to eschew the prizes, and the result is called the idyllic paradise. They are therefore neither identical nor opposite: one is the means and the other the end.
