COMPREHENSION Directions : In this section, you have two short passages. After each passage, you will find some items based on the passage. First, read a passage and answer the items based on it. You are required to select your answers based on the contents of the passage and the opinion of the author only.
And this brings me to the point at which I asked, "What do we do with all the time which the machines have saved for us, and the new energy they have given us?" On the whole, it must be admitted, we do very little. For the most part, we use our time and energy to make more and better machines which will give us still more time and still more energy, and what are we to do with them? The answer, I think, is that we should try to become more civilized. For the machines themselves, and the power which the machines have given us, are not civilization but aids to civilization. But you will remember that we agreed at the beginning that being civilized meant making and linking beautiful things, thinking freely and living rightly and maintaining justice equally among people. A person has a better chance today to do these things than he/she ever had before; he/she has more time, more energy, less to fear and less to fight against. If he/she will give his/her time and energy which his/her machines have won for him/her to make more beautiful things, to find out more and more about the universe, to remove the cause of quarrels between nations, to discover how to prevent poverty, then I think our civilization would undoubtedly be the greater as it would be more lasting than it has ever been.
Judiciously
Temperamentally
Divinely
Irrationally
- Option 1: Judiciously
This implies using wisdom and careful judgment when using the powers given to us by science. The passage suggests that on the whole, we do very little to use these powers wisely for betterment.
- Option 2: Temperamentally
This implies acting based on emotions. The passage does not suggest that we use our powers in a markedly emotional way.
- Option 3: Divinely
This suggests using power in a manner inspired by divine or godly principles. The passage does not indicate this kind of usage.
- Option 4: Irrationally
This indicates the use of science's powers with a lack of reason. The passage leans towards this interpretation, as it suggests that we often focus on creating more machines without fully utilizing their benefits for a civilized society.
In conclusion, option 4 (Irrationally) aligns most closely with the author's critical stance on our behavior. Hence,
