Read the excerpt from "What Educated Women Can Do” by Indira Gandhi. Some people think that only by taking up very high jobs, you are doing something important or you are doing national service. But we all know that the most complex machinery will be ineffective if one small screw is not working as it should and that screw is just as important as any big part. It is the same in national life. There is no job that is too small; there is no person who is too small. Everybody has something to do. And if he or she does it well, then the country will run well.
Answer
A
Most people do not choose the right job.
B
Most people are happier doing basic jobs.
C
The smallest jobs are the most important jobs.
D
The smallest jobs are essential to the country.
Explanation
Gandhi compares national life to a machine: even a small screw matters because the machine will not work properly if it fails. She says every person has something to do and that doing it well helps the country run well. This supports the idea that the smallest jobs are essential to the country, not that they are the most important jobs.
