Identifying the author's primary argument on healthcare
Question
Which of the following is/are emphatically conveyed by the author of the passage?
Options
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Analyze both statements against the text. Statement 1 asserts that mankind could not exist without science [cite: 1516, 1517], which is a massive existential claim never made by the author. Statement 2 claims science will "ultimately determine the destiny of mankind". The author actually argues the opposite: science is not an independent third party determining human fate , but is inextricably linked to human choices, questioning whether our faults lie elsewhere rather than being an inevitable result of scientific progress[cite: 1512, 1514].
Answer: (d).
