Q. “The increasing interest in tribal characters might be a mere coincidence, but the timing is of interest. None of this, though, is to say that the tribal hero has arrived in Hindi cinema, or that the new crop of characters represents the acceptance of the tribal character in the industry. The films and characters are too few to be described as a pattern.”
What does the word ‘arrived’ mean in the paragraph above?
(A) reached a terminus
(B) came to a conclusion
(C) attained a status
(D) went to a place
Ans: attained a status
Solution: The sentence implies that the tribal hero, hitherto unrecognized in Hindi cinema, has now arrived on the big stage. He is now a specimen of inquiry, of wonder, and of discussion. Hence the correct meaning of ‘arrived’ here is attained a status.
