1. But neither the ‘nowhere man’ nor the cosmic exile is a real possibility.
A. For the nowhere man, the common core of human consciousness which is his only resource, is too meager for it to generate a vision for him.
B. To think otherwise is to be self-deceived.
C. Deprived of these concepts and other comparable concepts, the nowhere man fails to form any vision at all and, therefore, is incapable of making any judgments.
D. The candidates for culture-free concepts mentioned in the definition of culture are in fact saturated in culture and are, therefore, linked to a point of view, whatever the nature of this link may eventually turn out to be.
6. About the cosmic exile, I quote Geller again : ‘It is not possible for us to carry out a total conceptual strip-tease and face bare data in total nudity.’
-
- A D C B
- B D C A
- B C D A
- B A D C
Correct Option: D
B follows statement 1 stating the implication of believing in the ‘nowhere man’ and the ‘cosmic exile’. A comes after B as it reasons out why the ‘nowhere man’ is impossible. DC is a mandatory pair with ‘these concepts’ in C referring to the ‘culture-free concepts’ in D. The last sentence fits in perfectly after D as it reasons out for the ‘cosmic exile’. Option (d) is the correct answer.
