Direction: Read the following Passage and Answer the Question given after it.
Most of us use the products of science-railways, aeroplanes, electricity, wireless and thousands of others-without thinking how they came into existence. We take them for granted, as if we were entitled to them as a matter of right. We are very proud of the fact that we live in an advanced age and are ourselves very advanced. Now, there is no doubt that our age is very different from previous ages and I think it is perfectly correct to say that it is far more advanced. But it is a different thing from saying that we, as individuals or groups, are more advanced. It would be the height of absurdity to say that because an engine driver can run an engine and Plato or Socrates could not, the engine driver is more advanced than, or is superior to, Plato or Socrates. But it would be perfectly correct to say that the engine itself is a more advanced method of locomotion than Plato's chariot was.
Which one of the following statements is true?
A)
An engine driver is cleverer than Plato or Socrates
doneclear
B)
Plato or Socrates are in no way inferior to the engine driver
doneclear
C)
Plato and Socrates surpassed the engine driver in every respect
doneclear
D)
The engine driver cannot be compared to Plato or Socrates
