Q1) From the passage it can be inferred that the author viewed Nietzsche as:
A. A revengeful person
B. A deceitful individual
C. A misunderstood person
D. A literary genius
E. An envious person
From the last line of the passage it is clear that the author believes that people‘s negative view of Nietzsche‘s two works is incorrect, yet a lot of people seem to have this view. (C) follows best from this as the correct answer.
A – The author actually disagrees with this
B – Not stated by the author
D – The passage never mentions anything about Nietzsche‘s genius

B. According to some people Nietzsche envied Wagner
C. Nietzsche criticised Wagner for including religion in his texts
D. Wagner‘s literary works were not entirely devoid of Christian elements
E. A lot of people have, over the years, disagreed with the negative perception of Nietzsche created by his two works on Wagner
In the last line of the 3rd para the author states that Nietzsche actually pointed out that Christian elements had found their way into Wagnerian music and not Wagnerian texts (in which they were anyways present). Thus (C) cannot be inferred from the passage and is the correct answer.
A - The first line of the 2nd para states that these works had a virulent and forcible tone i.e. same as negative tone
B – Supported by the 2nd para of the passage
D – Supported by the last lines of the 3rd para
E – The 2nd para states that many people have a negative perception of Nietzsche ‘despite all that has been said to the contrary’. So obviously there have been people who have disagreed with the negative perception of Nietzsche

A. They feel his language is very rude and demeaning
B. They have chosen to believe rumours rather than verify the facts for themselves
C. They have become biased by the personal animosity between Nietzsche and Wagner
D. They are against the mixing of music with religion
E. They found Nietzsche‘s comments blasphemous
The author clearly states in the 2nd para that despite enough having been said to the contrary, some people have chosen to believe the rumours about Nietzsche‘s dislike
towards Wagner. (B) follows best as the answer from this.
A – The passage never implies that Nietzsche‘s language was demeaning
C – The passage never states that there was personal animosity between Nietzsche and
Wagner, the people assumed this
D – The passage never mentions people‘s views on religion
E – Same as D
