Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below:-
We are tempted to assume that technological progress is real progress and that material
success is the criterion of civilization. If the Eastern people become fascinated by
machines and techniques and use them, as western nations do, to build huge industrial
organizations and large military establishments, they will get involved in power politics
and drift into the danger of death. Scientific and technological civilization brings great
opportunities and great rewards but also great risks and temptations, Science and
technology are neither good nor bad. They are not to be tabooed but tamed and assigned
their proper place. They become dangerous only if they become idols.
