    D: Progression
    Rythm, signature are characteristics of a progression or a sequence

  2. chandu says:

    d is correct answer

  3. Anshu says:

    i will go with D progression .
    Concentrate on “degrees of detachment from the surrounding world”
    so it has to be changing or progressing state whose rhythm is unique .
    I think progression fits best here

    i somehow agree with samee’s explaination, but not completely sure,… guys pls share ur thots…

  5. Samee says:

    probable ans are either A or D.

    but “a_______ whose rhythm is as unique and as consistent as a signature.” the presence of “rhythm” in the last phrase suggest me to go for D.

  6. C. Chu says:

    (A). The phrase “detachment from the surrounding world” infers that by sleeping, one is leaving the surrounding world and into another. The word closest to “world” would be REALM – a domain or sphere.
