Soupçon MCQ Series 22

 In "Soupçon MCQ Series 22", let us deal with the technique that might help you answer this type of mcq. 

Let us look at "Soupçon MCQ Series 20." Here it is:

Match the columns.                                                   Column 1 

a) Alfred Jarry

 b) Eugene Ionesco 

 c) Jean Genet 

    Column 2

 i) The Maids

 ii)Ubu Roi 

 iii) The Chairs 

The options can be: 

 A) a-i, b-iii, c-ii 

 B) a-ii, b-i, c-iii 

 C) a-ii, b-iii, c-i 

Let us imagine that you are not aware of any of these texts. Ideally, that is not possible, right? "Absurd Drama", too, is quite a favourite of the high n mighty who design syllabi. 

Even when you have supposedly not heard of the term, look at the options. It has to be, as per the repetition, either (B) or (C). That takes care of 'a' and 'ii'. 

 Now is the catch. Well, the ideal solution, especially as future 'Assistant Professors', would be to read, read, read and read. As the test is almost knocking at the door, the way right now to go about it could be the deletion method. 

Genet, you must have surely read en passim, was "enfant terrible", someone who loved to shock. Guesswork, ideally absolutely avoided, should lead you to the c-i pair.

The correct option, hence,  is 'C'.                           

 All the best, in the meanwhile! Let us meet on Monday, June 8.
