SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 3

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2019 - 17 Jan 2019 - Shift 1 • English • Q3

Back to paper

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:

This new rolling carry-on from the American Tourister line was designed to solve one of your most vexing travel problems: being able to pack light enough on an outbound flight to avoid checking luggage, but having adequate room on the return for all the goods acquired on your journey.

Other expandable luggage may give you a few inches of extra space, but this one nearly doubles in volume and, amazingly, has rigid walls, even when fully expanded. The transformation is made possible by rock-solid hinges, which lock firmly into one of three positions. And, with a hardshell exterior that's faceted for strength, and you've got a suitcase that'll outwit even the most reckless baggage handler. The line goes on sale next month: Plan your itineraries accordingly.

What, according to the author, was one of the most irritating problem of travelling?
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Carrying a lighter luggage but still wanting enough space for things.


Correct Answer: The author talks about a common travel problem — when you want to travel light so that you don’t have to check in your luggage on your outbound journey, but also need enough space to carry back the things you buy on your return journey.
This means the issue is about managing luggage space — how to keep it light in the beginning, but still have room for shopping on the return.

Line to refer: “being able to pack light enough on an outbound flight to avoid checking luggage, but having adequate room on the return for all the goods acquired on your journey.”


This line clearly explains that the problem is about balancing light packing and having enough space, which matches option 1.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
