Study the following statements :
(a) When she entered the drug store, Mrs. Higgins was not properly dressed.
(b) She looked like the mother of a guilty person.
(c) Mr. Carr did not expect her to be calm and dignified.
Answer: C
Statements (a) and (c) are right and (b) is wrong, which is option (3).
(a) is right: the passage says her clothes 'seemed to have been thrown on her', so she was not properly dressed. (c) is right: Mr. Carr was 'a bit embarrassed by her lack of terror and her simplicity' and hardly knew what to say, which shows he did not expect calm and dignity.
(b) is wrong: the passage opens by saying she did not look as Alfred thought she would look; she smiled and her eyes never wavered, so she did not look like the mother of a guilty person. Any option that accepts (b) is therefore out, leaving only the one that takes (a) and (c) together.
