A
they are easily swayed by emotions
B
they are easily controlled by hunger and thirst
C
their emotions are active but short-lived
D
they are apt to give way to anger
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage compares young men’s desires to "sick people’s attacks of hunger and thirst," which are described as "keen but not deep-rooted." This suggests that, like a sick person’s sudden but brief cravings, young men experience strong emotions that are intense while they last but quickly fade. This makes option C the most accurate choice.
