Fill in the blank:

The passage suggests that in the course of evolution man has _____________________________.

• A. transformed himself very rapidly
  
• B. changed with the passage of time
  
• C. remained as he was at the beginning of time
  
• D. become inefficient and lazy over the years
  

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

changed with the passage of time

Option B states that 'man has changed with the passage of time'.

As mentioned in the passage, "in the human species, war... did not arise in human evolution until man had reached the stage of settled civilization when he began to accumulate stores of grain and other forms of wealth."

These lines express the change (in terms of civilization) in man.

Hence option B is correct.

Options A, C and D are neither mentioned nor implied in the passage.

Hence these options are wrong.
