Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own.They are not even now as concerned about the health of their fame as men are, and, speaking generally, will pass a tombstone or a signpost without feeling an irresistible desire to cut their names on it, as Alf, Bert or Chas. must do in obedience to their instinct, which murmurs if it sees a fine woman go by, or even a dog, Ce chien est a moi. And, of course, it may not be a dog, I thought, remembering Parliament Square, the Sieges Allee and other avenues; it may be a piece of land or a man with curly black hair.
Answer
A
that men feel a natural inclination to create art
B
that men are most concerned with owning property
C
that men often give in to their urges for recognition
D
that men compete with one another for fame
Explanation
The passage says men feel an instinctive urge to carve their names on things, as if declaring “this is mine.” The examples of a dog, a piece of land, or a man suggest that men act on impulses to claim and mark what they see. This supports the idea that men often give in to their urges for recognition, rather than simply creating art or competing with one another for fame.
