If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and actions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority. It fulfils, therefore, three functions. In the first place, it satisfies man's desire for knowledge; it is here doing the same thing that science attempts to accomplish by its own methods, and here, therefore, enters into rivalry with it. It is to the second function that it performs that religion no doubt owes the greater part of its influence. In so far as religion brushes away man's fear of the dangers and vicissitudes of life, in so far as it assures them of a happy ending, and comforts them in their misfortunes, science cannot compete with it.

The correct option is B Religion scores over science as far as the emotional quotient goes.
option (b), (b) is correct, it carries the crux of the paragraph. Refer to the part religion no doubt owes the greater part of its influence.... science cannot compete with it. (d)is doubtful, security is an ambiguous term. (c) contradicts information given in the paragraph. (a) is limited as the relative factor is not stated in the paragraph. Directions for question 100:Each question below consists of six sentences denoted by 1, A, B, C, D, and 6. Sentences 1 and 6 are respectively the first and the last sentences of a paragraph. Sentences A, B, C and D come in between sentences 1 and 6 but not necessarily in that order. From the choices select the correct arrangement of ABCD to form a logically coherent paragraph.
