b) Counter-factualism has been accorded with academic respectability
c) Counter-factualism contains meaningful truth
d) Counter-factualism does not seem to have a human urge

• A. a
• B. a & c
• C. a, b, c & d
• D. None of the above answers

Answer 1

The correct option is D

None of the above answers

The question asks about the author’s position.
Look at this line from the first paragraph "I refer to those for whom the notion of parallel worlds holds fascination".
So option A is not the author’s opinion.
Look at this line "While this necessary limitation may lie behind the reluctance to accord counter-factualism academic respectability".
So option B is also not the author’s opinion.
Look at this line "if they are to contain any meaningful truth".
So the author is contemplating on this and it is not his strong position.
So option C is also not author’s opinion.
Next let us look at this line "there does seem to be a real human urge".
So option D is also not the author’s position.
