What is comprehension passage?

Comprehension passages are sure-shot scoring questions. We are given a passage and some questions that follow the passage. The questions are to be answered by using the data given in the passage, even if it differs from real-life facts.

Now,

• The line 27 says: "Georgia feels bad for the young woman because she will "struggle through the years she should have been frivolous."
• When Georgia considers the other girl who would take her position in the paper, the word "poor" is used in a pitying manner (that is if they did hire a girl).
• Therefore, "poor" here refers to "pitiable."

Hence, Option A is the most accurate, i.e., In line 27, "poor" most nearly means: pitiable (Option A).
