Directions (Q1 -5): Read the following passage and answer the questions given below it by selecting the most appropriate option.

It is progress in the Human Sciences that we must look to undo the evils which have resulted from knowledge of the physical world hastily and superficially acquired by populations unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new knowledge has made imperative. The rod to a happier world than any known in the past lies open before us if atavistic destructive passions can be kept in leash while the necessary adaptation are made. Fears are inevitable in our time, but hopes are equally rational and are more likely to bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of the dangers to be avoided than of the good that will lie within our grasp if we can believe in it and let it dominate our thoughts. Science, whatever unpleasant consequences it may have by the way, is its very nature a liberator, a liberator of bondage to physical nature and in to come, a liberator from the weight of destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter disaster or unprecedentedly glorious achievement. No previous age has been fraught with problems so momentous and it is to science that we must look to for a happy future.
