Question

Complete the sentence according to the information given in the passage:
Amazing discoveries of science have been made _________.

• A. in a brief period.
• B. in a long period.
• C. in our forefather's age.
• D. in centuries.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

in a brief period.

In the begining of the passage it is clearly mentioned that - 'The history of civilization shows how man always has to choose between making the right and wrong use of the discoveries of science.

This has never been more true than in our own age.

In a brief period, amazing discoveries have been made and applied to practical purpose.'

Therefore Option A is correct.

There is no mention of 'long period', 'our forefather's age' and 'centuries' anywhere in the passage.

Hence Option B, Option C and Option D are incorrect.
