After reading the passage, answer the questions that follow:

Unhappiness and discontent spring not only from poverty. Man is a strange creature, fundamentally different from other animals. He has far horizons, invincible hopes, creative energies, spiritual powers. If they are left undeveloped and unsatisfied, he may have all the comforts which wealth can give, but will still feel that life is not worthwhile. The great humanist writers, Shaw and Wells, Arnold Bennett and Galsworthy, who are regarded as the prophets of the dawn, expose the foibles, inconsistencies and weaknesses of modern life, but they ignore the deeper currents and sometimes misrepresent them. At any rate, they give nothing in their place. In the void left by the removal of tradition, morality and religion, others are putting in vague sentiments of race and power. The modern mind is shaped by Rousseau's Social Contract, Marx's Capital, Darwin's On the Origin of Species and Spengler's The Decline of the West. The outward chaos and confusion of our life reflect the confusion of our hearts and minds. Constitutions, says Plato, "are but the reflections in the outside world of the values which prevail in men's minds." There must be a change in the ideals we cherish, in the values we adopt, before we can give social expression to them. We help to secure the future only to the extent to which we ourselves are changed. What is missing in our age is the soul; there is nothing wrong with the body. We suffer from sickness of spirit. We must discover our roots in the eternal and regain faith in the transcendent truth which will order life, discipline discordant elements, and bring unity and purpose into it. If not, when the floods come and the winds blow and beat upon our houses, it will fall.

The author implies that if the eternal values and ideals are not regained, then __________

(Select the right option)

The human civilization and society will be ruined forever

The correct answer is : OPTION 3 The human civilization and society will be ruined forever

Explanation: The passage suggests that the lack of eternal values and ideals is leading to a "sickness of spirit" and that there is a need to rediscover these values to bring unity and purpose into life. The author warns that without this rediscovery, there will be chaos and confusion, metaphorically represented as "when the floods come and the winds blow and beat upon our houses, it will fall." This indicates that the consequences would be detrimental to human civilization and society. Therefore, the correct option is that the human civilization and society will be ruined forever.
