Choose the best answer for the question from the options given, based on the information in the passage.
A day of national mourning is a day marked by mourning and memorial activities observed among the majority of a country's populace. Most are designated by the nation's government. Sociologists claim that national mourning is both a symbolic political gesture as well as a meaningful expression of grief. On the one hand, predetermined mourning days reflect and create a national community, united in a feeling of sorrow. On the other hand, many mourning days instigated by the people, such as the day of Princess Diana's funeral, reflect a spontaneous outbreak of pure grief manifested in the closing of shops and banks, the postponement of sports events, and the cancellation of theatre and cinema performances. Although the fervour of the mourning can differ dramatically from one country to another, there is no doubt that a day of collective grief is beneficial to national unity.

"BMI (body-mass index) is a cheap and cheerful way of getting a handle on whether or not you might be overweight. The alternatives are rather more complicated and expensive. You can go for an MRI scan or a dexa scan and those will measure your whole body fat, but that really is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. BMI does separate those people who are normal from those who are obese and there is some area of uncertainty in the middle."
By- Tim Cole, Professor of Medical Statistics at University College London
"The body-mass index that the National Health Service counts on to assess obesity is a bizarre measure. We live in a three-dimensional world, yet the BMI is defined as weight divided by height squared. It was invented in the 1840s, before calculators, when a formula had to be very simple and usable. As a consequence of this ill-founded definition, millions of short people think they are thinner than they are, and millions of tall people think they are fatter."

Experts agree that arts and culture are an important part of the economy - but the precise relationship is complicated. The main question is: does investment in the arts stimulate growth, or are the arts the product of economic development? It would seem that the case for continued arts funding is clear- cut - enjoying the arts (visiting art galleries and theatres) boosts the economy. But some argue that the link between arts investment and economic output is tenuous. Researchers today are exploring a different angle of this relationship: they are trying to understand how the subjective value of the arts - the "happiness factor" - may translate into economic benefits. According to the "happiness factor" hypothesis, when a place develops a critical mass of arts and vibrancy it tends to attract talented people which, in turn, tends to raise income.
