Read the passage and answer the questions given below based on the information from the passage.
In the world today we make health and end in itself. We have forgotten that health is really means to enable a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine and this includes many patients as well as many physicians pay very little attention to health but very much attention to those who imagine that they are ill. Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspapers. The health articles in popular magazines and the popularity of television programmers and all those books on medicine. We talk about health all the time. Yet for the most part the only result is more people with imaginary illness. The healthy man should not be wasting time talking about health: he should be using health for work. The work does the work that makes good health possible.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: what healthy man should or should not do
Explanation: The passage emphasizes that health is a means to enable a person to work and do that work well. It criticizes excessive attention to health that leads to imaginary illness and states that a healthy person should use their health for work rather than wasting time talking about or imagining illness.
Health is described as a means to enable work, not an end in itself.
Excessive focus on health causes imaginary illness, according to the passage.
Therefore a healthy person should use their health to do work, not waste time discussing or imagining sickness.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
The suggestion about how medicine should be manufactured is not discussed in the passage.
The mention of television programmes is only an example of public interest in health, not the main point about how a healthy person should behave.
A single vague word like "how" does not capture the passage's clear message about using health for work.
