Answer : 1. "A"
Explanation :

good will replace better because - the pattern used with as — as (Adv.) is as follows : as + Adj. (in Positive Degree) + as good → Positive Degree (no comparison is made) better → Comparative Degree (two things are compared) best → Superlative Degree (more than two things are compared) as — as  → used for expressing similarity between one person/thing and another. Look at the examples given below : Shyam is as rich as Ram. He does not play as well as his sister. Hence, These days, job opportunities are not as good is the right usage.


Q:

What, one wonders, is the lowest common denominator of Indian culture today? The attractive Hema Malini ? The songs of Vinidh Barati? The attractive Hema Malini? The sons of Vinidh Barati?
Or the mouth-watering Masala Dosa? Delectable as these may be, each yield pride of place to that false (?) symbol of a new era-the synthetic fibre. In less than twenty years the nylon sari and the terylene shirt have swept the countryside, penetrated to the farthest corners of the land and persuaded every common man, woman and child that the key to success in the present day world lie in artificial fibers: glass nylon, crepe nylon, tery mixes, polyesters and what have you. More than the bicycles, the wristwatch or the transistor radio, synthetic clothes have come to represent the first step away form the village square. The village lass treasures the flashy nylon sari in her trousseau most delay; the village youth gets a great kick out of his cheap terrycot shirt and trousers, the nearest he can approximate to the expensive synthetic sported by his wealthy citybred contemporaries. And the Neo-rich craze for ‘phoren’ is nowhere more apparent than in the price that people will pay for smuggled, stolen, begged borrowed second hand or thrown away synthetics. Alas, even the uniformity of nylon.

‘The lowest common denominator’ of the Indian culture today is –
