Solution
The correct option is C
It is rarely obvious and
transparent
Option (a) and (b) are negated in the second paragraph or the author goes against option (a) and (b) in the second paragraph. Looking at the following lines from the third paragraph - “However, science’s accumulation of lasting truths about the world is not by any means a straightforward matter. We certainly need to get beyond the naive view that the truth will automatically reveal itself to any scientist who looks in the right direction; most often, in fact, a whole series of prior discoveries is needed to tease reality’s truths from experiment and observation”. We can clearly find that (c) is the correct option and (d) is wrong.
