Read the following passage and answer.

At a stage like this in human civilization, it is of utmost interest that nations’ coarse ignorance towards one another decreases, people should start understanding a bit of histories of other cultures, other countries and the resulting mentality developed. It is really fault of Englishmen because they expected people to run the world as they wanted to, to international as well as political situations. We many a times expect people to be the way we are and because of that nothing is made out of our actual kindness and good intents. This could be corrected, not to be a very wide extent but to a certain limit if we knew global history, even outlines of it, about the conditions, social and political, which have lead the country to shape up as it has currently.

  1. A.

  2. B.

    Have a better perceptive of other countries

  3. C.

    Not to react with war

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: Have a better understanding of other countries.

Explanation: The author argues that reducing coarse ignorance between nations requires learning about other cultures and global history. Knowing even the outlines of a country's social and political background helps us understand why it developed as it did and prevents us from expecting everyone to behave exactly as we do.

  • The passage says nations' coarse ignorance towards one another should decrease, which learning history and culture can achieve.

  • Studying global history and the social and political conditions that shaped countries improves our perception of others and corrects mistaken expectations.
