Read the following two passages and answer the items that follow the passages. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Passage-1
Unlike religion and science, poetry does not posit or expect any belief in absolute truths. Those forces or individuals who claim to have absolute truths in their grasp tend to turn dictatorial and tyrannical. Truth usually does not admit any contradictions or imperfections. It is unitarian. It is, therefore, not of much use for poetry. Poetry abides by the plurality of life and existence. Perhaps poetry follows reality which is plural, anachronistic, full of contradictions. Against the tyranny of truth, poetry remains a partisan of democratic reality. Against the arrogance of power, wealth and hierarchy, poetry proposes both humility and defiance.
Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical and rational message conveyed by the above / passage?
It is the poetry, not science or religion, which recognizes and accepts imperfections in humans.,
Truth is revealed through science or religion and poetry is anathema to truth.
Poetry is romantic, imaginary and is about feeling whereas science and religion are about truth.
In a world of violence, tyranny and bigotry, poetry is a form of dynamic resistance
Option (1) is Correct: This statement best reflects the logical and rational message conveyed by the passage. The passage mentions that "poetry does not posit or expect any belief in absolute truths" and that it "abides by the plurality of life and existence." This implies that poetry, unlike science or religion, which often seek absolute truths, recognizes and accepts the imperfections and contradictions inherent in humans.
Option (2) is incorrect: While the passage discusses how poetry does not deal with absolute truths, it does not suggest that poetry is an anathema to truth. Instead, it indicates that poetry operates within a different paradigm that values plurality and contradictions.
Option (3) is incorrect: The passage does not emphasize poetry as merely romantic or imaginary. It focuses on the role of poetry in recognizing the plurality and contradictions of life, rather than categorizing it as purely about feelings.
Option (4) is incorrect: Although the passage does state that "poetry remains a partisan of democratic reality" and "proposes both humility and defiance," the primary message is about poetry's acceptance of imperfections and contradictions, rather than framing it explicitly as dynamic resistance.
