Human beings are naturally visual creatures. Our eyes, capable of counting single photons, have been optimized over evolutionary time to the very limits of the laws of physics. And so, perhaps it's no surprise that we live in an era in which the visible competes for our attention ever more forcefully. Our eyes and minds are bombarded by information, much of which we don't have time to process, let alone fully understand. Insidiously, a certain proportion is even designed to distract us or prevent us from gaining insight and revealing truth. On social media, on TV - our eyes follow the brightly lit people of our era to the point of our own exhaustion. Being seen is a measure of import, of relevance. Being visible is a need, and simultaneously a cause of anxiety or fear. Some of us may even begin to wonder: if we are not visible, do we fully exist? Even as we feel overloaded and overwhelmed with the visible, many of us can't seem to take back control and look away. Look away - at what?
Yet, an invisible world surrounds and inhabits us. From the quantum level to the cosmic expanse, the majority of the physical universe is not visible to us most of the time.
Of the true three-dimensional depth and volume of space, we detect merely a hint when we look up at the seemingly two-dimensional dome above us. Of the miniscule multitudes, the microbial world living around and within us, we sense only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Most of us give little thought to the mysterious and non-intuitive quantum underpinnings of the world, given that our daily experiences are predominantly at the macroscopic scale.
But, by training our eyes and minds to seek out the invisible, we can change our understanding of reality. Encounters with the invisible show us just how unnatural it actually is to take the measure of the physical world, of others, and ourselves, just in terms of what can be plainly seen.
Q. Which of the following points out the absurdity of the visible?
  • a)
    The clarity of thought that comes from understanding the invisible side of things.
  • b)
    Access to understanding the invisible aspect of the physical world.
  • c)
    The superiority of understanding the subtle details of the microscopic world.
  • d)
    The massive gap between the opportunities that the visible and invisible offer.

Option (b) is correct as the concluding part of the passage mentions that the understanding of the physical world is altered when one explores the invisible side of things. This alteration exposes that how unnatural it actually is to take the measure of the physical world in terms of what can be plainly seen.

Directions: Kindly read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below.Our unlikely childhoods begin well before gametes meet. As part of our social organisation, humans have a specific type of mating system, a form of reproduction that scaffolds the relationships between animals in our society in a specific way, with specific aims. Despite a tendency by a certain insidious strand of pseudo-intellectual internet bile to use pseudo-scientific terms such as ‘alpha males’ and ‘beta males’ for human interactions, our species is in fact rather charmingly non-competitive when it comes to mating.While it may be difficult to believe that humans are largely tedious monogamists, our pair-bonded nature is a story written in our physical beings. Not for us the costly evolutionary displays of the male hamadryas baboon, who grows his fangs to 400 times those of his female relatives in order to show off and fight for mates. (Male human fangs are, in fact, slightly bigger than females – but only about 7 per cent, which is nothing in animal terms.) Furthermore, in animals with more competitive strategies for mating – ones where there is any extra advantage in remaining coupled, depositing sperm, or preventing other couplings from happening – evolution has provided an array of genital morphologies ranging from penis bones and spikes to outsized testes. Humans lack distinction in any measure of genitalia so far studied, though it is worth noting that most anthropologists have chosen to focus on male genitalia, so surprises may remain in store for future research.This physical lack of difference between sexes sets up a social system that is, in animal terms, weird: pair bonding. Virtually no other animals reproduce in pair bonds – only about 5 per cent, if you discount birds, who do go for pairing in a big way. But an outsize proportion of primates opt for this monogamous arrangement, about 15 per cent of species, including, of course, our own. There are a variety of evolutionary theories for why pair bonding should appeal so much to primates, including maintaining access to females that roam, supporting offspring, or increasing certainty about paternity. One prominent theory is that pair-bonded males have less motivation for infanticide, though as the anthropologist Holly Dunsworth pointed out in her Aeon essay ‘Sex Makes Babies’ (2017), this does suggest a type of understanding in primates that we don’t always even ascribe to other humans. Other theories point to female roaming requiring a pairing system so mating opportunities aren’t lost whenever she moves on. Pair bonding has emerged perhaps as many as four separate times in the primate family, suggesting that the motivation for the invention of the mate may not be the same in all monkeys. What does seem clear is that humans have opted for a mating system that doesn’t go in as much for competition as it does for care. The evolution of ‘dads’ – our casual word for the pair of helping hands that, in humans, fits a very broad range of people – may in fact be the only solution to the crisis that is the most important feature of human babies: they are off-the-scale demanding.Q.How does the authors attitude come across when discussing the concept of pair bonding in humans?

Being visible is a need, and simultaneously a cause of anxiety or fear. Some of us may even begin to wonder: if we are not visible, do we fully exist? Even as we feel overloaded and overwhelmed with the visible, many of us can't seem to take back control and look away. Look away - at what?Yet, an invisible world surrounds and inhabits us. From the quantum level to the cosmic expanse, the majority of the physical universe is not visible to us most of the time.Of the true three-dimensional depth and volume of space, we detect merely a hint when we look up at the seemingly two-dimensional dome above us. Of the miniscule multitudes, the microbial world living around and within us, we sense only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Most of us give little thought to the mysterious and non-intuitive quantum underpinnings of the world, given that our daily experiences are predominantly at the macroscopic scale.But, by training our eyes and minds to seek out the invisible, we can change our understanding of reality. Encounters with the invisible show us just how unnatural it actually is to take the measure of the physical world, of others, and ourselves, just in terms of what can be plainly seen.Q. Which of the following points out the absurdity of the visible?a)The clarity of thought that comes from understanding the invisible side of things.b)Access to understanding the invisible aspect of the physical world.c)The superiority of understanding the subtle details of the microscopic world.d)The massive gap between the opportunities that the visible and invisible offer.Correct answer is option 'B'.
