RBI Grade B Officer (General / DEPR / DSIM) 2023 · Question 166 of 260

In the question given below, a passage/statement is given followed by three statements which may or may not strengthen/weaken the assertion made in the passage. Answer the questions as per the individual direction given. If every crevasse in your home is overflowing with objects you haven't used in more than five years, it would be fairly safe to say you are a hoarder. And if the very thought of parting with possessions you no longer need creates distress, you may have hoarding disorder. You are not alone - most Indians are known for hoarding, a habit probably triggered by generations of making do and not having enough. Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument made in the above passage? I. Collectors typically acquire possessions in an organised and targeted fashion whereas hoarders acquire objects impulsively, with little active planning. II. A typical Indian middle-class family has a room exclusively for holding all the big and small items hidden by generations of family members. III. Most Indians are constantly worrying about survival, prompting them to keep things in case they are needed in the future.
