Direction: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Do not study too long at once. So long as the mind works with ease, it may be allowed to continue working, but if we find it moves slowly and extra trouble is needed to keep the attention fixed, it is far better to break off and take a walk or have some other recreation, than to go on plodding until one feels wholly exhausted. To continue to force the mind to work is likely to lead to injurious result and may end in a nervous breakdown from which recovery is slow and troublesome.

The writer suggests that the main cause of mental breakdown is

A) a life of anxiety and worry.

B) too much work and little diversion.

C) excessive mental work leading to exhaustion.

D) a strenuous life.

E) None of these
