Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. is the norm.

  • 'Normal' means conforming to a standard. This makes the overall sense of the statement sound absurd. Whereas by using 'norm' we mean something that is usual, typical, or the standard itself. It doesn't have anything to do with comforming to standards. This meaning is able to make complete sense for the given statement and hence becomes the correct answer.
