In the highest sense, religion is an intensely individual issue. But there is also a national question. We must hold together, and we cannot hold together only on the strength of police regulations. An internal regulator of conduct is absolutely necessary. Will men be good and wise without the aid of religion? As modern life has multiplied desires without the corrective of a sense of spiritual values, knowledge of modern science does not reduce either greed or lust. Indeed, it has nothing to do with these criminal disturbances of the mind. On the contrary, it finds fresh tools for greater indulgence in all forms of greed, lust, and anger. It is true that a sense of shame by itself often prevents overt misconduct. But it does not go to the root of the mischief; it does not stop undesirable mental activities. The only thing that can prevent or restrain these evils is the religious sense.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
I. Misconduct in the country should be ardently checked and controlled by the police and judiciary
II. Scientific advancements have led to the increase in material desires and lust for criminal disturbances
III. Personal mischiefs can be unrooted only with the help of spiritual sense
A. Only 1
B. Only III
C. Both I and II
D. Both II and III
