Explanation: This question is designed to test the ability to discern true statements from false ones based on a given extract. The key to answering such questions correctly is to carefully read the extract and match each statement against the information provided.
The extract provides information about Santosh and her background. It mentions that her parents were conservative, which makes statement 1 true. It also indicates that Santosh was against the prevailing customs in her village, making statement 2 true. However, the extract does not mention anything about Santosh attending a private school in Mumbai, which makes statement 3 false. Additionally, the extract does not indicate that Santosh's brothers always supported her, making statement 4 false. Lastly, the extract mentions that Santosh was under pressure to get married early, which makes statement 5 false.
To identify the correct answer, we need to determine which set of statements are false according to the extract. By analyzing each statement, we can see that statements 3, 4, and 5 are false. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, which lists these statements as false.
It is important to read the extract carefully and not make assumptions based on general knowledge or personal beliefs. Each statement must be evaluated based on the information provided in the extract. This type of question tests not only reading comprehension but also the ability to critically analyze information and distinguish between true and false statements.
