महत्त्वाचे मुद्दे (Key Points):
• This question was officially cancelled (#) by the MPSC Final Answer Key.
• The cancellation likely occurred because multiple options could be interpreted as correct based on different parts of the text, making the question ambiguous. For instance, the text says: 'The weapons of the moment can kill more people more secretly and more unpleasantly' (pointing to 'd'). However, it also says: 'It has been said of each new weapon that it is so destructive and horrible that it will frighten people into their wits' (pointing to 'b'). Because 'b' is explicitly prefaced with 'It has been said of each new weapon...', but the author later notes this hope is 'never fulfilled', the phrasing creates confusion.
• When options overlap or the passage presents a theory vs. reality conflict that the question doesn't specify, examination bodies often cancel the question to maintain fairness.
• Cancelled questions are excluded from final grading. Always rely on the clearest textual evidence during the exam.
