Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below:

Pradip wouldn’t elaborate on his ailments, even though I pressed him for details, wondering how he managed todo the hard labour of a tongsman if he suffered from back pain. Like most workers, and like most members ofIndia’s underclass, he seemed to operate at a high level of abstraction when it came to certain things, especiallythose that had to do with the body. Just as Dibyajoti had said that his mother died of ‘fever’ and Pradip’s youngroom-mate had been afraid of the effects of ‘dust’, Pradip would only say that he suffered from ‘pain’.In elite circles in India, this is a sign of the illiteracy of the lower classes, an indication of how they lack intellectualproperty as well as material property. But as I heard these simple words – ‘fever’, ‘dust’, ‘pain’ – taking the place ofany complicated diagnosis or description of symptoms, it struck me that one of the characteristics of being higherup on the class ladder was the specificity with which a person could speak of one’s ailments. But there was anotherway of understanding the use of such simple words. The workers didn’t have access to the kind of medical carethat would let them receive complex formulations of their illness. So they suffered with a stoicism that wasingrained in their social status. Given the lives that migrant workers lived, someone like Pradip had no choice but
