उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) न तो 1 और न ही 2
The author stresses that science and mankind cannot be separated, and asks whether war is the inevitable result of science or whether the fault lies elsewhere. The passage never says mankind survives because of science, nor that science will decide mankind’s destiny.
- ✗ 1. Mankind’s survival is not discussed. The passage is about the relation between science and mankind, not about mankind depending on science to exist.
- ✗ 2. The author leans the other way: science should not be treated as ‘some abstract third party’, and the closing question suggests the fault may ‘lie elsewhere’, that is, with men. Science is not presented as the force that decides destiny.
Remember · ‘Emphatically conveyed’ needs a point the author clearly makes; reject statements giving science a decisive role the author questions.
