Question 67

From the given options, choose the sentence that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.

Most people at their first consultation take a furtive look at the surgeon’s hands in the hope of reassurance. Prospective patients look for delicacy, sensitivity, steadiness, perhaps unblemished pallor. On this basis, Henry Perowne loses a number of cases each year. Generally, he knows it’s about to happen before the patient does: the downward glance repeated, the prepared questions beginning to falter, the overemphatic thanks during the retreat to the door.

[CAT 2008]

Solution

The paragraph talks about Henry Perowne losing some patients because of his hands. From the paragraph, we can understand that there definitely is a problem with his hands. Logically, the next statement should be about the patients whom Henry Perowne doesn't lose. Sentence B talks about this aspect, that though the other patients also realise that there is a problem with his hands, they are ignorant or stuck up about their options and hence go nowhere else. Hence, b) is the apt concluding statement.
