Study the following statements:
(a) Ancient Greeks were superior to other European nations.
(b) Science helps us fight superstitions.
A.(a) is right and (b) is wrong.
B.(a) is wrong and (b) is right.✓ Correct
C.Both (a) and (b) are right.
D.Both (a) and (b) are wrong.
Explanation
Statement (a) is wrong — the passage says the ancient Greeks BELIEVED they were superior, but this belief itself is presented as an unproved principle, not as fact. Statement (b) is correct because the passage clearly states 'the increase of scientific knowledge does reduce superstition and also baseless guessing.' Hence (a) is wrong and (b) is right, making option (2) correct.
