Directions to Solve
Harold a professional man who had worked in an office for many years had a fearful dream. In it, he found himself in a land where small slug-like animals with slimy tentacles lived on people's bodies. The people tolerated the loathsome creatures because after many years they grew into elephants which then became the nation's system of transport, carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go. Harold suddenly realised that he himself was covered with these things, and he woke up screaming. In a vivid sequence of pictures this dream dramatised for Harold what he had never been able to put in to words; he saw himself as letting society feed on his body in his early years so that it would carry him when he retired. He later threw off the "security bug" and took up freelance work.

@All.
In the context of the question "Harold's dream was fearful because, " option D, "in it he saw slimy creatures feeding on people's bodies, " is the correct answer. This option accurately reflects the content of the dream as described in the previous information, and it is the reason why the dream was fearful for Harold.
Option A, "it brought him face to face with reality, " is not necessarily a reason why the dream would be fearful. Option B, "it was full of vivid pictures of snakes, " is not mentioned in the description of the dream. Option C, "he saw huge elephants in it, " is not necessarily a reason why the dream would be fearful.
I hope this helps to clarify the correct answer.

Before we continue, the doubt is between options A and D., D is wrong because he was not scared even though he saw those creatures but became scared when he saw them on his body. To be brought face to face with the reality is to physically face what you were viewing from a distance or happening on others.
Option A is correct because he was scared after seeing those creatures, that he was seeing on other people's bodies, now on his.
Kindly take brought to face to face with reality as a description phrase that meant him seeing those creatures on his body, yet he initially saw them on other people's body.
