Which of the following is the closest implication of the statement "to break new ground, or perhaps to deepen a freshly turned furrow"?
Explanation:
From the third paragraph, the bias were there (4 is ruled out) and it wasn’t about doing further work at archeological sites (3 is ruled out). It was about digging afresh in newer areas of thought and digging deeper on establishment of recently emerged perspectives (Option 1 is ruled out). Option 2 therefore comes close to this thought. As the author puts it, “Here Indian historians have been influenced both by their local situation and by changes of thought elsewhere.” Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
