Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it. There exists in every language a rough and ready vocabulary for the expression and communication of the individual’s more private experiences. Anyone capable of speech can say, ‘I’m frightened’, or ‘How pretty!’ and those who hear the words will have a crude but, for most practical purposes, a sufficiently vivid idea of what is being talked about. Bad literature (bad, that is to say, on the private level-for, as quasi-science and in relation to man’s more public experience, it may be quite good), bad literature hardly goes beyond the how pretty’s and I’m frightened’s of average everyday speech. In good literature-good, that is to say on the private level-the blunt imprecisions of conventional language give place to subtler and more penetrating forms of expression. The ambition of the literary artist is to speak about the ineffable, to communicate in words that words were never intended to convey. For all words are abstractions and stand for those aspects of a given class of experiences which are recognizably similar. The elements of experience which are unique, aberrant, other-than-average, remain outside the pale of common language. But it is precisely these elements of man’s more private experiences that the literary artist aspires to communicate. For this purpose common language is wholly inadequate. Every literary artist must therefore invent or borrow some kind of uncommon language capable of expressing, at least partially, those experiences which the vocabulary and syntax of ordinary speech so manifestly fail to convey. What is the meaning of the word ‘ineffable’ in the above passage ?
Answer
B. Indefinable
