Read the following passage and answer the questions

Traditionally, readers of literature, postulated an instantly responsive reader and strove to read like one. It is possible, however, to replace this postulate with the postulate of an initially unresponsive reader. Although it is strictly a postulate, it seems to correspond to observed reader behaviour at first meetings with a literary work. It is well known that the first reaction to unfamiliar music is one of puzzlement, apathy, or even dislike and that only continued exposure builds up a or a capacity for response. This applies, in varying degrees, to music in general and then at lower levels of generalization, to a composer, a composition, a musician or singer, and an individual piece of music or a song. It similarly applies, again, varying degrees to literature, a genre, an author, a literary work and a particular passage.

46. The author is of the view that


readers of literature are dumb


readers of literature are believed to naturally respond to texts


readers of literature take their time in responding to what is before them


readers of literature respond without any prejudice



47. That readers naturally and instinctively respond to literature is a/an


antiquated view


modern view


traditional view


erroneous view



48. On what basis does the author advance his postulate of "an initially unresponsive reader"


Personal observation


Observed behaviour of readers


Behaviour of observant readers


General statistical information



49. What, according to the author, is conducive to better appreciation of art objects

Postulates relating to art objects

50. What does the expression "in varying degrees" refer to in this passage


Literature, genre, author, etc.
