Education plays a great transformatory role in life, particularly so in this rapidly changing and globalizing world. Universities are the custodians of the intellectual capital and promoters of culture and specialized knowledge. Culture is an activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and human feelings. A merely well informed man is only a bore on God's earth. What we should aim at is producing men who possess both culture and expert knowledge. Their expert knowledge will give them a firm ground to start from and their culture will lead them as deep as philosophy and as high as art. Together it will impart meaning to human existence. On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : A society without well educated people cannot be transformed into a modern society. Without acquiring culture, a person's education is not complete. Which of the above assumptions is/are valid ?
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Answer is (c). In assumption 1, we interpret "Well Educated" to encompass both knowledge and cultural awareness, which aligns with the passage's context. Therefore, assumption 1 is indeed correct. Assumption 2 is explicitly stated in the passage, making it undoubtedly correct.
