On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
1. A society without well educated people cannot be transformed into a modern society.
2. Without acquiring culture, a person’s education is not complete.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
(a) 1 only · (b) 2 only · (c) Both 1 and 2 · (d) Neither 1 nor 2
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) केवल 2
The author wants people with 'both culture and expert knowledge' and dismisses the merely well-informed man as a bore, so education without culture is incomplete. The passage speaks of education transforming life, not of a society becoming 'modern'.
- ✗ 1. The 'transformatory role' is 'in life'; the passage makes no claim about modernising a society, and 'cannot' sets a sweeping condition it never states.
- ✓ 2. 'A merely well informed man is only a bore' and 'we should aim at... both culture and expert knowledge' — for the author, education lacking culture falls short.
Remember · Check what the passage is about — here an individual's education — and reject statements that shift to a different subject or add 'cannot'.
