3. His breakfast was only consumed after he returned from the coconut grove carrying a dozen coconuts on his shoulders.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. The routine was Namaz, then the grove walk, then carrying coconuts, then breakfast.Structural Breakdown: The chronological order is absolute: Spiritual duty first (4 a.m. Namaz), followed by a four-mile walk, agricultural labor (harvesting coconuts), physical exertion (carrying them back), and finally, physical sustenance (breakfast). Historical/Related Context: Delaying breakfast until after morning chores or prayers is a common ascetic practice in many Indian traditions, reinforcing the idea that daily sustenance is earned through diligent effort.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 1 is incorrect because he did not go for a run; he read the namaz first, then walked four miles to the grove, and only ate breakfast after returning with the coconuts.
