Question:

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the question that follows:

Indian religious and ethical space is different from that of the western countries. The Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata etc. enrich Indian religious
and social space. Details of the treatment of human values and Dharmas have a long tradition. They are often compared, contrasted and debated by the characters in the Ramayana and the
Mahabharata. In the process, it has given birth to a tradition of dharma, which has been transferred from generation to generation. Ethical discourse was not a one-time affair. From time to time, religious leaders from various regions of India nourished and strengthened the Indian ethical arena. Tiruvalluvar (second century B.C.), Kabir from Uttar Pradesh (fifteenth century A.D.), Nanak from Punjab (fifteenth century A.D), Alvars and Nayanmars of Tamil Nadu (eighth century A.D.), Basaveswara of Karnataka (Twelfth century A.D.), Sri Chaitanya (Sixteenth century) were prominent.

Which of the following assumptions will make the above paragraph redundant?

Explanation:

The passage focuses on the tradition of Dharma. It states that the treatment of human values and Dharmas go hand-in-hand in the Indian context and that, “Indian religious and ethical space is different from that of the western countries”. Any statement that negates this conclusion will make the passage redundant. [5] states that western ethical and religious space has also had a long tradition of treatment of human values and Dharma. This goes against the argument made in the passage.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
