Explanation:

- Assumption 1: The horrors of modern life are the inevitable result of the progress of science.

- The passage questions whether the negative aspects of modern life are due to science or other factors.

- It suggests the possibility that the issue may not necessarily lie with science itself.

- Assumption 2: The aspect of truth likely to be overlooked is that science is what man has made it.

- The passage underscores the connection between science and mankind.

- It implies that science cannot be viewed as a separate entity; it is a creation of human effort.

- Option 1: 1 only

- Assumption 1 alone is inadequate as the passage implies other causes for modern horrors.

- Option 2: 2 only

- Suggests that only Assumption 2 is correct, which aligns with the passage's message about the human role in shaping science.

- Option 3: Both 1 and 2

- Indicates both assumptions are correct, but the passage challenges the first assumption's inevitability notion.

- Option 4: Neither 1 nor 2

- Disregards both assumptions, but the passage supports Assumption 2.

Option 2 is the correct choice—Assumption 2 captures the essence of the passage.
