Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

The popular saying is, ‘Learn to accept the things you cannot change.’ Or, ignore. Imagine you find yourself in the middle of a ferocious argument between two colleagues. What would you do – take sides and incur the wrath of the other? Demand that they pipe down and join in the confusion? Or simply walk away, ignoring them? The safest is perhaps to ignore, but that could be mistaken for indifference, disinterest or even apathy. Yet the answer to a lot of sticky situations in life could possibly be to ignore it for the moment; to let things settle down and find their own level. That way, the heat and the dust settle down, and better sense would prevail. To ignore something is not the same as not caring; it could even mean that you care so much that you have decided to ignore it so that it does not get worse. That is to say, to ignore responsibly — but it does not mean that you can ignore your responsibility when you are required to be responsible. Is there a way to ignore someone or something without causing offence? To ignore is a passive response (rather, a non-response); there is little chance of sparking a conflict. Sometimes, silence is truly golden, for it creates the space for reflection and for calming down. Agitation only fuels further agitation and misunderstanding, whereas remaining silent could have the opposite effect, of easing tension and bringing in the much-needed calm. A lot of tricky situations in life tend to sort themselves out if only we had held our tongue and kept the peace. ​
