The last millennium, the century to which we have said goodbye, has witnessed remarkable progress in every branch of Science and Technology. Our planet has become a global village due to the ongoing information revolution. The biological revolution has placed in our hands the power to alter the blue prints of life. Similarly, there has been spectacular progress in the perfection of weapons of mass destruction. However, the fact is that our socio-cultural and ethical evolution has not kept pace with the revolution in science.
What has empowered us to change the patterns of life?
- Biological revolution
- Weapons of mass destruction
- Readily available means of transport
- Spectacular successes in technology
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Biological revolution
The passage says “The biological revolution has placed in our hands the power to alter the blue prints of life”, so it is the biological revolution that has empowered us to change the patterns of life. The “spectacular progress” the passage mentions concerns weapons of mass destruction, which do not alter life's patterns, and transport is not mentioned at all.
