Which among the following is the most logical and essential message conveyed by the above passage?
(a) All problems of governance can be solved by using digital technologies. · (b) Speaking of digital technologies is speaking of our life and living. · (c) Our creativity and imagination cannot be expressed without digital media. · (d) Use of digital systems is imperative for the existence of mankind in future.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) डिजिटल प्रौद्योगिकियों की बात करना हमारे जीवन और जीवनचर्या की बात करना है।
The passage says the digital is not just a tool but a condition that shapes who we are, how we connect, and our life, labour and language. So to speak of digital technologies is to speak of our life and living.
- ✗ (a) 'All problems of governance' is an extreme claim; the passage says only that the digital shapes our understanding of governance.
- ✓ (b) The digital 'has dramatically restructured our lives' and is 'a condition and context' of life, so talking about it is talking about how we live.
- ✗ (c) The passage says the digital shapes our imagination, not that creativity cannot be expressed without it.
- ✗ (d) The passage describes the present ('We live in digital times'), not what mankind's future existence requires.
Remember · For the 'essential message', prefer the option restating the passage's central image (the digital as a condition of life) over extreme claims.
