Q33. 33. When we meet other people while we travel, we learn to differentiate between

A. imagination and understanding
B. communities and nationalities
C. local values and universal values✓ Correct
D. friends and foes

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The passage explicitly states that through travel and interaction in foreign lands, one learns 'what is parochial and what is universal in his choice.' It further elaborates that values like 'justice, love and honour, courtesy... are valid everywhere but they are variously moulded and often differently handled, and sometimes nearly unrecognizable if you meet them in a foreign land.' This directly points to the differentiation between universal values (valid everywhere) and local values (variously moulded/handled).

Options A, B, and D are not directly addressed or implied as the primary differentiation learned through travel in the context of this passage. This question tests the ability to identify the core message regarding cultural understanding through travel.
