Approach Solution -2
Separating the options by whether they describe a person's manner and social conduct versus their physical appearance narrows this down, since "uncouth" is fundamentally about crude manners and behaviour.
- Option A (Ungraceful): "Ungraceful" mainly describes clumsy physical movement, a narrower quality than the general crudeness of manner that "uncouth" describes.
- Option B (Rough): "Rough" broadly describes a lack of polish or refinement in manner and behaviour, matching the general social crudeness "uncouth" conveys.
- Option C (Slovenly): "Slovenly" specifically describes untidiness in dress or habits, a narrower physical-neatness quality rather than general crude manners.
- Option D (Unkempt): "Unkempt" refers specifically to a messy physical appearance, such as untidy hair or clothing, not to a person's manners or conduct in general.
- Option E: No text is provided for this option.
Since "uncouth" describes a general lack of refinement in manner rather than a specific untidiness of appearance, "rough" is the broadest and closest match.
Hence, the correct answer is (B) Rough.

"The emancipation of women", James Joyce told one of his friends, "has caused the greatest revolution in our time."
Other modernists agree: Virginia Woolf, claiming that in a about 1910 "human character changed" and illustrating the new balance between the sexes, urged, "Read the 'Agamemon' and see whether your sympathies are not almost entirely with Clytemnestra". D.H. Lawrence wrote "perhaps the deepest fight for 200 years and more has been the fight for women's independence".
But if modernist writers considered women's revolt against men's domination as one of their "greatest" and "deepest" themes, only recently, perhaps in the past 15 years has literary criticism begun to catch up with it. Not that the images of sexual antagonism that abound in modern literature have gone unremarked - far from it. We are able to see in literary works the perspective we bring to them and now that women are enough to make a difference in reforming canons and interpreting literature, the landscapes of literary history and the features of individual books have begun to change. - Choose the correct sentence
