Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- Radical action can also be attributed to mild surrender where one acts against societal expectations.
- Submitting to one's limitations, given the effect of age and other factors, ought not to be conflated with laziness.
- 'Leading man' usually refers to one who plays the lead role in a movie; in this instance the implication is that Hugh Grant is performing the role of not an action hero, but that of a resting one!
Select the answer using the code given below.
Detailed Explanation:
The passage describes Hugh Grant's nap as "quietly radical" and a "surrender to limits... to the body's quiet wisdom over society's relentless performance metrics," supporting Statement 1. It explicitly states this surrender was "Not to laziness, but to limits," mentioning the "crushing weight of being a 64-year-old man," validating Statement 2.
The passage concludes that "The perpetually sleep-deprived discovered a leading man, not of action, but of rest." Since Hugh Grant is an actor known for playing leading roles, the author cleverly repositions him as a "resting hero" rather than an action hero, confirming Statement 3.
Therefore, all three statements accurately reflect the passage's content and tone, making Option 3 the correct answer.
