    B Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only 1 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    IDOL refers to a statue; 1 uses the word to refer to the statue of the god/ goddess in front of whom she bowed. IDOL means a role model; 3 uses this word to refer to how he was a role model to the downtrodden. Thus, (c) is the right answer. 2 is incorrect as it confuses IDLE (avoiding work) with IDOL; the sentence talks about how the author did not have time for daydreams, because she had work to do.
