Question :

Which one of the following statements best reflects the main argument of the fourth paragraph of the passage?

 

Started 2 months ago by Shashank in

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

The fourth paragraph says that technologies are comparable to laws and customs, and it calls each of these (technologies, laws and customs) as "institutions that can be said to represent those who live under their sway through privileging certain dimensions of their human nature". Option B reflects this idea and is hence the right choice.

The passage does not comment on the effectiveness of laws and customs in privileging certain dimensions of human nature or compare technology with laws and customs in this respect. So, option A is incorrect.

Option C is incorrect as it calls technologies, laws and customs 'dissimilar' phenomena.

Option D, while true, is not the main argument of the paragraph. It only substantiates the main argument.
