Directions : Read the given passage carefully and answer the question (Question Nos. 86 to 90) that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. The general recognition of this fact is shown in the proverbial phrase. “It is the busiest man who has time to spare”. Thus, an elderly lady at leisure can spend the entire day writing a postcard to her niece. An hour will be spent in finding the postcard, another hunting for spectacles, half an hour to search for the address, an hour and a quarter in composition and twently minutes in deciding whether or not to take an umbrella when going to the pillar-box in the street. The total effort that would occupy a busy man for three minutes, all told, may in this fashion leave another person completely exhausted after a day of doubt, anxiety and tail.
