English ( Master) Reading Comprehension (C)

Read the following passage and answer the following question:
The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. Until man’s nature changes, his physical needs will always arise, and miseries will always be felt, and no amount of physical help will remove them completely. The only solution to the problem is to make mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of evil and of all the misery we see. Let men have light, let them be pure and spiritually strong and educated; then alone will misery cease in the world. We may convert every house in the country into a charitable asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but human misery will continue until man’s character changes.

The poor economic and social conditions prevailing in society.

The refusal on the part of man to change his character.

The absence of physical and material help from his society.

Ever increasing physical needs due to changing social structure.

Explanation:

The correct answer is (b). Man's physical need is never going to cease as long as man is craving for it. Desire brings along miseries. If a man doesn't realize this and keeps on doing what he is doing then no physical help can reduce his miseries. It is man's nature which is responsible for all the miseries. The only solution to this is man's spiritual growth and bringing change in his character.
