With reference to the above passage what is the author's stand with regard to 'information'?
Explanation:
Throughout the passage, the author states that we should not be over reliant on information as it leads to complacency. This is clearly stated in the sixth sentence of the first paragraph. As per the twelfth sentence of the second paragraph, the author clearly states that gathering more information takes time and does not necessarily reduce the risk involved. Thus option 1 can be negated. The fourth sentence of the first paragraph states that humans gather information in order to make sense of what is happening. However, option 2 is incorrect as it states that humans love information which is not implied in the passage. In the last paragraph, the author states that information about the present is necessary to take informed decisions. However, he states that over emphasis on information is an obstacle in taking qui decisions. Thus option 3 is only partly correct and can be negated. Only option 4 correctly states what the author thinks about information. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
