Read the following passage and answer question nos. 1 to 4 :
From the very beginning man has attempted what has seemed impossible. Man is different from the rest of the creation in this respect. He has an eternal thirst for adventure. This has led to countless new discoveries and inventions. Human curiosity is limitless. It is responsible for space flights and moon landings.
The desire to know what lies beyond the visible world takes many forms. The everest hero Tenzing and the hero of the seven Seas, Mihir Sen, were inspired
by the same restless spirit. Astronaut Armstrong and his colleagues, who were the first humans to set foot on the soil of the moon, have proved beyond doubt that man shall not rest until he has conquered the entire universe.
Now the question arises : Is it enough to know and master nature ? To answer it one should first answer a more basic question : which is more important-knowing and understanding the world around you or knowing and understanding yourself ? Everyone will agree that in the absence of self-knowledge even the most advanced knowledge of the universe will be not only useless but also dangerous.
