	Read the following passage carefully and answer the question based on it. Comfort is now one of the causes of its own spread.

To those who have know comfort, discomfort is a real torture. The fashion which now decreases the worship of comfort is quite as imperious as any other fashion. Moreover enormous material interests are bound up with the supply of means of comfort. The manufactures of furniture of heating apparatus, of plumbing fixtures cannot afford to let the love of comfort die.

A man of means today, who builds a house, is in general concerned primarily with the comfort of his future residence, he will regard his house as perfect. His counterpart in an earlier would have been primarily concerned with the impressiveness and magnificence of his dwelling with beauty, in a world, rather than comfort. The money our contemporary would spend on decoration and air-conditioning would have been spent on marble stair cases, frescoes, picture and statues. I am inclined to think that our present passion for comfort is a little exaggerated.
