Question

[PASSAGE] Was it the sun-dappled ambience, the strawberries and cream, the frustration of Flavio Cobolli's unforced errors against Serbian Novak Djokovic on Centre Court or simply the crushing weight of being a 64-year-old man in the third act of a very public life? Whatever the reason, Hugh Grant, the actor, deserves empathy. There he was, in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, flanked by Britain's well-dressed and well-rested spectators, watching the men's singles quarterfinals, when the actor did something quietly radical: head at a tilt, eyes closed, utterly unbothered, he took a nap. So praise be to Grant for serving up an unexpected ace. In that small, delicious moment, he didn't merely catch forty winks, he made an elegant case for surrender. Not to laziness, but to limits. To the body's quiet wisdom over society's relentless performance metrics. Wimbledon had its tennis. The perpetually sleep-deprived discovered a leading man, not of action, but of rest.

[QUESTION] Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Options

a

1 and 2

b

3 only

c

2 and 3

Answer
d

2 only

Explanation

Let us check each statement carefully using the passage text [cite: 4307, 4308, 4309, 4310, 4311, 4312, 4313]:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The text states that Hugh Grant was watching the men's singles quarterfinals , making the claim that it was a 'semifinal' an incorrect factual insertion.
Statement 2 is correct: The author uses the tennis term 'unexpected ace' metaphorically to highlight the actor's uncharacteristic choice to take a nap in the Royal Box [cite: 4309, 4310].
Statement 3 is correct: The text explicitly highlights this action as a victory of 'the body's quiet wisdom over society's relentless performance metrics'.

Since statements 2 and 3 are correct based on the text, option (c) is the correct choice.

Fact-checking questions require verifying baseline structural details, such as the specific stage of a tournament (quarterfinals vs semifinals), to spot incorrect factual insertions.

Answer: (c).
