Q.6 “I put the brown paper in my pocket along with the chalks, and possibly other things.
I suppose every one must have reflected how primeval and how poetical are the
things that one carries in one’s pocket: the pocket-knife, for instance the type of all
human tools, the infant of the sword. Once I planned to write a book of poems
entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long: and the age
of the great epics is past.”
(From G.K. Chesterton’s “A Piece of Chalk”)
Based only on the information provided in the above passage, which one of the
following statements is true?
(A) The author of the passage carries a mirror in his pocket to reflect upon things.
