It is surprising how ignorant politicians are about changing social trends. Most of the politicians hold social views that are less contemporary than those of a common man who is aware of the ground reality that is changing rapidly around him. In a way, although politicians are considered representatives of a society, those having awareness of social trends are rare to find.
Which one of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A) There are no politicians who are aware of social trends.
B) Experience in politics makes one lose awareness of everyday life.
C) Every person who observes the ground reality, changing rapidly around him, and is not a politician has insights about the changing nature of social values.
D) Politicians rarely behave like common men.
E) Some politicians are no less aware of social trends than typical common men
A. Wrong. Passage mentions that politicians with awareness of social trends are rare to find, and from this information we can infer that there are at least a few or more politicians who are just as aware as the common man about changing social trends.
B. Wrong. Just because politicians are ignorant of changing social trends we can't conclude that experience in politics is the reason for their ignorance. This causality has no leg to stand on.
C. Wrong. This option is making a too extreme inference.
D. Wrong. This option is tricky, but incorrect, because it brings in to discussion the word "behavior". The argument is concerned with just one aspect of behavior, which is awareness of changing social patterns, to compare people and politicians, and not the complete behavior.
E. Correct. This statement can be inferred from the information given in the last line of the passage.
