from line (Question: 117912.0 )

merely to go about smashing of atoms

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following question you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passage carefully and choose best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


There can be only two explanations why countries like the UK, US, Germany and Japan are willing to spend up to 5.5 billion to make the Next Generation Linear Collider (NGLC) : Intellectual snobbery or complete indifference to the problems of the real world. To plan a 20-mile-long tunnel merely to go about smashing atoms, so as to recreate the Big Bang, is a frightful waste of public money. The project has no foreseeable practical application. Already, cyber-savvy cosmologists are engaged in simulating the Big Bang, or the beginnings of the universe, in the virtual world, through number crunching and reverse engineering. They have successfully created a black hole on the desktop. So why go in for prohibitively expensive experimentation, when the virtual world is just a mouse-click away? Scientific ingenuity, remember, is not confined to real-life experiments; many of today's breakthroughs have been inspired by research conducted almost entirely in cyberspace. Moreover, virtual research is 'clean'-without such fall outs as lab accidents and chemical leakages-and costs next to nothing.

Countries like UK, US, Germany and Japan wish to spend lot of money.

Options:
A) To attend to the problems of humanity 
B) To control AIDS
C) For defence research
D) To carry out atomic research
Solution:
Ans: (d)
